Question

I am due to arrive Beijing china on the 21st of march 2016 and depart 22nd of march on the P&O ARCADIA.

Evelyn · Answer

David, you don’t need it because you can use the 24 hour direct transit.

Davlid Lawrence · Answer

Thank you for the reply on our visit, Question. if the ship docks A.M on the 21st and does not leave until P.M on the 22nd I.E 36 hours stop over are we still covered on the 24 hour exemption?

Evelyn · Answer

Dear, if it’s 36 hours, I’m afraid you cannot enjoy it any more. You should apply for a transit G type or tourist L type ahead of your trip.

David · Answer

can you please tell me what is G Type and L type visa and do where do I get them ? ThThank you  for your help and A Happy New Year to you all

Evelyn · Answer

The G type is a transit entry permit, while the L type is an entry permit for tourists. Both are ok for your travel. You can apply one from the CVASC branch in London, Edinburgh or Manchester.
