24hr direct transit visa

Question

we had a 10hr stopover in Guangzhou and our airline China Southern said we could havefree overnight accomodation but when we arrived at the airport we were refused by the airlinewho said immigration had changed the law and we had to apply for an entry permit.This was in Sept 2017we are travelling back via the same airline and longer stopover early November. Are we going to have to sit in the airport again? should we apply for an entry permit?

William · Answer

You will be fine if you only remain in the airport under 24 hour direct transit in Guangzhou. Or you can apply for a visa if you want to leave there to enter the city.
