About:72-Hour Visa-Free Transit

I am going to Nepal after a 48 hour lay-over in Guangzhou, but will not have my Nepal visa?

Hi, I am a medical volunteer going to help Nepal after the earthquake, but I will not be receiving my Nepal entry permit until entry into Nepal (this entry is provided immediately upon arriving to Kathmandu). I have a 48 hour lay-over in Guangzho so am staying for two nights to see the beautiful city. I have my airline tickets already booked which clearly shows that Nepal is our final destination from Guangzhou, but since I will not have my Nepal entry permit until arriving in Nepal, will I still be eligible for the 72 hour transit by just showing my airline tickets? Thanks!

Parth, I think you should ask the relevant organization in Nepal to issue you a letter confirming that you can get the VOA when arriving in Kathmandu. Otherwise, there is a possibiltiy that you will be rejected to board on the plane.

It is the standard policy in Nepal, as in countless other small country's to provide Visa upon entry. My question is not about this at all, this is a give. My question is will I be eligible for a 72 hour free transit since I have plane tickets to verify that China is only a short stop between my final destination, and truth be told having a plane ticket is greater proof of my travel plans than having an entry permit for a country that provides the vast majority of it's VOA. Thanks for you help
