About:8 Tips for Filling Out Chinese Visa Application Form
Difficult visa question
Hello,
I have a difficult/particular question about the immigration/visa system.
I have a Chinese tourist double entry visa which I have not used yet.
Furthermore, we know that there is a “free transit visa” if you stop for a limited time in one of the authorized Chinese cities.
The question is: am I allowed to use the “free transit visa” without stamping my tourist visa? I would like to spend as long as possible in China, so for example: could I fly to Hong Kong, stopping for a layover of 3 days in Guangzhou using the free transit visa, then continuing to HK, without using the actual “L” visa, which I would then use later overland?
I hope you understand the complicated question.
Thank you since now for your help!
