Hi, Zoe! I’m afraid you are not eligible for the 72 hrs free transit service. However, as you only stop over for 10 hours, you can avail yourself of the 24-hour direct transit policy.

Thanx Kathie!

So if that's the case, should I still apply for a transit permit for me to avail of that 24 hour direct transit?

No, by using the direct transit policy, you are exempted from the transit permit.
