transit visa procedure in qingdao

Question

I’m flying from US to Seoul via QD and have 14 hour overnight layover in the city. I’ve read that you have to stay in the airport for transit visa, but airport closes at night, so we’re going to nearby hotel. Do we need any type of visa before we leave, or just the passport. Can we get the transit visa if we have to leave the airport and how is that process? What does it cost? Traveling with children, so want to be prepared. Thank you!

Hi, Rina! No visa is needed and you can enjoy a 24h TWOV at the airport. If you want to leave the airport, just go find an airport staff and ask him to guide you to apply for a temporary stay permit upon arrival! Nice trip!
