72+ hrs visa exemption

Question

Hello, I plan to fly Taipei to Beijing on Friday 13th, arriving at 1130hrs, and leaving on Monday 16th at 2100hrs Beijng to HongKong, is this possible with the 72 hrs transit permit exemption?I read the 72hrs start the next day of arrival, and ends at 2359 on 'the third day' of the permit, is this correct?cheers,Claudia

Hello. Claudia, I'm afraid you are not eligible for the policy. Though the route Taipei-Beijing-Hong Kong is eligible for the 72 hour free transit but your stay is over 72 hours. In Beijing, the 72 hours counts from when you complete the relevant procedures at the airport to your departure time.
