About:72-Hour Visa-Free Transit FAQ

London to Beijing back to London and Melbourne.

Hi there, I'm travelling from London to Beijing (return flight) for 2 days, and then going home to Melbourne immediately on arrival in London, total time <72 hours. Will I be eligible for visa free stay under the 72 hr rule?

Hi, you mean you will travel like London-Beijing-London-Melbourne, right? If yes, you won't qualify for the 72 hour free transit in Beijing because it's not a transit. You need a visa for that beforehand.

What if the itinerary was London-Helsinki (layover for 3 hours) final destination Beijing.
Then Beijing directly back to London.

LON-HEL-PEK-LON is fine as long as your flights are non-stop and your passport qualifies.

Non stop means you should not have other domestic flights within China except for the one in PEK.

Non-stop means exactly that: it doesn't stop. It's not the same as a "direct" flight, which may have intermediate stops.
