Hi. Counting from the arrival of my first flight until the departure of my last flight, I'll be in China for 26 hours. Can I stay in the airport for 2 hours, and become eligible for the 24h direct transfer? I know the 72h one isn't an option, but I don't want to pay 160 euro for a visa when I won't actually visit China.

Tom, I’m afraid you have to apply for a visa for that.

I have 2 transfers in China on route to Melbourne. Total 26h in China. Visa required?
