Question

Pierre L. · Answer

Your travel: 1. USA 2. normal transit in Beijing 3. Japan ===> Normal trip with only one landing (here as a transit) in China. You need nothing.Return: 1. Japan 2. less than 6 days in a qualified (for less than 144 hours) city in China 3. USA====> You only need that free visa requested at the custom in Beijing. But no other airport accepted within a qualified free visa. Ex: Japan - 2 hours transit in Shanghai - 4 days in Beijing - USA.  That would required a full visa. I know I had such transit and it cost me a lot of $$$.
