Hello, I will arrive at 17 o'clock at Beijing and leave 3 days later at 15 o'clock from Beijing and have a valid ticket to fly from Beijing to Hanoi. I do not have the entry permit yet for Vietnam but I do have the VOA on Approval Letter that I will get a visum as soon as I arrive. Is this okay? Can I get the 72-hour free Transit at Beijing?

Yes it's ok. You can get the 72hrs free transit in Beijing.

Thank you Corey, does this also apply when we fly from Beijing to Hanoi with a stop in Guangzhou? (of 1,5 hours)?

Nina, if you also stop in Guangzhou, the 72-hour free transit cannot be used.
