Bit of an interesting one, would be awesome to know if i qualify for the 72 hour transit visa.

So im a New Zealand citizen/passport holder departing Beirut, Lebanon to Beijing but i am only there for a meeting for a day and a half then going into North Korea for 12 days. I have to exit NK through Beijing but will only pass through on a 8 hour layover.

Because ill be in Beijing transit twice within a short amount of time will this free transit work?

Cheers
