About:How to Travel to China without a Visa

Am I eligible for a transit visa?

Hi, I will be travelling to San Francisco, USA from Manila, Philippines via China.
Below is my itinerary

Manila - Guanzhou - Wuhan - San Francisco
San Francisco - Wuhan - Guanzhou - Manila

I have a connecting flight Guangzhou - San Francisco (and Vice versa) for 4HRS. with a 2HR technical stop in Wuhan. Per trip my I should be able to stay in China for 6hrs.

Do I need a transit visa?
I know that it is possible to apply a 24HR transit visa in Guangzhou, but for my trip back going to the Manila, my first stop would be Wuhan, can we apply for a 24 HR transit visa there?

Caroline, you are definitely eligible for 24 hour visa free transit in case if your entire transit time through China, calculated from your first scheduled landing in China, until your last scheduled departure from China is less than 24 hours. So, if your entire transit time from your scheduled landing in Guangzhou until your scheduled departure from Wuhan is less than 24 hours and the same thing for your return flight, but in reverse order, you will enjoy 24 hour visa free transit both ways and you don't need any kind of visa.

You will be perfectly allowed to apply for a temporary entry permit upon your landing in Wuhan, don't worry. The procedure is the same or quite similar as in Guangzhou.

One more detail, please, use correct terminology. It is not a transit visa, but 24 hour visa free transit. Just to avoid any possible misunderstanding.
