chinese embassy uk - london

Question

Hi, I called the Chinese Embassy to confirm if I needed to arrange a transit visa in advance or collect this at Shanghai airport. I'm travelling from Thailand on the 15th Nov and leave Shanghai to the UK on 18th (so within the 144 hours) however they said they had not heard of this before so could not advise. Is this possible the embassy are unaware of this?Do I need to make any arrangements before my trip or can I arrive at Shanghai and obtain this at the airport?Thank you

It appears that you do not want a transit (G)  but you want to transit without visa.  It's important that you use the correct terms and don't confuse the two. If both you and your itinerary are eligible for transit without visa then you simply inform your carrier when you check-in.
