Hi. i am a Filipino and working here in UAE. Do I need to get a transit visa if we have 20 hours layover in China to Philippines? Kindly advise. Thank you.

Glaine, you don’t need it because you are eligible for the 24 hour direct transit.

So I am allowed to go outside the airport without the visa, right?

Yeah, you are allowed to leave the airport without it, but you need to apply for a temporary stay permit at the airport and it’s free of charge.
