About:240-Hour Visa-Free Transit

Wondering about 144 free transit visa in Guangzhou from South Korea

I am a South Korean. Will flight from Seoul to Guanghzou and will take a train from guangzhou east railway station to Hong kong and will flight to Seoul.
1. If i book a train ticket from it3.mtr.com.hk, i will only get confirmation number without a real ticket.
Is that possible to get transit visa with just confirmation number??
2. If i book a accommodation in Airbnb, i will not get any voucher. Is it okay to get visa too??

Ray, this is 144h transit without visa. You just need to have onward ticket to Hong Kong.

Look, this itinerary is definitely eligible and your intention to use Guangzhou–Kowloon through train is just fine. Anyway, you should not book this ticket on MTR official website exactly because of the reason you are mentioning in your post. There is no name and there is no passport number on an e-confirmation you will receive by MTR. So, you will book a ticket for this train on the several available websites that require your identity and your passport number, so your e-confirmation of your booking will have these details when it comes to present this confirmation as a proof that you will really travel on the itinerary you claim you will. This is also possible to obtain on this website. Just look at the upper side of this site, choose "Trains" and there you will book your ticket. A small drawback is the fact that you will have to pay 12 USD fee for a delivery of your ticket to the accommodation of your choice in Guangzhou, but at least this ticket will wait for you there. By using this option, you will be able to enjoy your travel and to be eligible for your itinerary.

By the way, I don't recommend the use of Airbnb because of the ticket delivery, although they will deliver the ticket to any address within mainland China. Also, you should also take care of your registration upon your arrival at the relevant public security bureau. You should think about it, but the choice should be all yours.
