About:China Transit Visa

Do I need a transit visa before travel

Hello All,

I am traveling with an Indian passport from Frankfurt to Sydney by Southern China Airlines.
The flight has a stopping at Changsha and Guangzhou. Wait time at Guangzhou is 8 hrs and my entire travel is 23 hrs and same stops while returning from Sydney to Frankfurt.

Do I need to apply for a transit visa separately ? or am I eligible for 24 hrs direct transit ? If I am eligible , am I allowed to explore the city ?

Please help
Thank You.
Bala

Hi, you need to apply for a double entries transit G type for the trip because you are not eligible for the 24 hour direct transit in China if you travel like that.

Hi ,

Thank you so much for responding. Will be going to apply for transit on Monday but they did not confirm if it can be expedited and returned on the same day. My travel date is 16 from Frankfurt.

I am checking on my other options too.

If I change my route and opt to touch down only at Guangzhou or any other city instead of two stops at China, do I qualify for 24 hrs direct transit ?

Thank you so much.

If you will travel like Frankfurt-Guangzhou(within 24 hours)-Sydney, and you don't leave the airport, you will qualify for the 24 hour direct transit in there.
