Viky, you needn't apply for any transit type before you arrive. As for your baggage, it depends on your airline companies. If you fly with the same airline, your baggage is usually transferred to next stop. If you fly with two different airlines, then it depends on whether they have an agreement that your baggage can be transferred by next airline company.
