i hold a thai passport but i'm currently an exchange student in seoulwish to travel

Question

I'm Thai but right now I'm in Seoul as an exchange student. I already have a Korean Alien Card (ARC). I'm planning to travel to Germany in mid-may and in the process of asking for a German Visa. My flight is supposed to transit in Bejing for about 16-18 hours. Do I need a transit G type if i plan to stay in the transit areas? And what if i want to leave to the city and back again, will the transit G type cover that? Or will I need the L type tourist.Thanks!

No, you don’t need a transit G type. You qualify for the 24 hour direct transit in Beijing if you travel like that. You just need to apply for a free temporary stay permit at the immigration office inside Beijing airport and then you can leave the transit area.
