about the 72 hour visa free transit

Question

Hello! i am doing a cruise with my husband and our last stop is Hong Kong on May 9th, i was wondering if i can go to Beijing that same day and then on May 11th fly back to Los Angeles with one stop in Guangzhou for two hours.Thank you!

Hi there, according to what you said, you cannot use the 72 hour free transit because you stop over in two Chinese cities. You should apply for a transit G type or tourist L type beforehand.

Thank you for your quick response! I checked the flight and I can take from hong Kong to Beijing and then back to USA. According to what I was reading hong Kong is consider as an international flight. So I will be fine right?

Dear, you mean after transiting in Beijing, you can fly to USA direct from Beijing? If yes, it’s fine and you can enjoy the 72 hour free transit.
