I am flying to Beijing from London landing on the 1st September I am staying one night

before doing a ten day tour of DPRK on 2nd September. After the tour on the 12 September. I may need to stay one night before taking a flight back to UK on the 13th September. Or I may even on the 12th September take a flight to Hong Kong which will mean I won't even leave the airport. So can I be issued with a transit visa for the nights i will be having in Beijing or is a tourist visa required despite only spending in total 48 hours ( that's if I stay the night on the 12th) .

Yours sincerely

Daniel North
