enquiry on whether to get gl visa

Question

My father, sister, and I will be transiting through China in late December (coming from Japan and going to Bangkok through Beijing). My sister and I are Australian citizens, and my father is a Thai citizen.From what I understand my sister and I can leave the airport (Free transit) for up to 72 hours, but my father (Thai citizen) will need a visa. We will only stay for 1-2 days. May I check if it would be appropriate for him to get a G,or should we apply for an L?

Joe · Answer

Yes, you are right. Your father needs to apply for a visa in advance if the stopover is longer than 24 hours. It is easy for him to apply for a transit G, with passport and flight ticket only.
