About:Chinese Embassies in Europe

Do I get 24hrs free transit visa at Beijing?

I am holding an Indian passport, residing in France on a student entry permit. I am flying to Melbourne from Paris via Beijing. Technically two airlines. 1.Aerofloat= Paris - Moscow- Beijing, 2.China Southern= Beijing- Guangzhou-Melbourne. Beijing layover is nearly 12hrs. Just wondering if I could get 24hrs free transit to shoot off the airport to see the Great Wall or Should I have to apply transit G beforehand? Visaforchina.org (website) says Foreign nationals get 24hrs direct transit irrespective of any nationalities. Some guidance would be extremely helpful. Thanks.

Guangzhou does not allow multi-stop transit anymore. Hence, you should apply for a visa for that before your trip.

Hi Could you please explain me clearly as I only want to get off the Beijing airport not the Guangzhou as the layover is just only 2 hours there.

Based on recent information, Guangzhou immigration prohibits passengers transiting in Guangzhou to leave the sterile transit zone if their transit time is under 24 hours. Hence the multi-stop domestic transit is also banned. You can call the Guangzhou airport to confirm this if you doubt. TEL: 020-36066999
