About:72-Hour Visa-Free Transit

Flight from: Amsterdam to Siem Reap (layover in Beijing and Guangzhou)

Hello, during our flight from Amsterdam to Cambodia, we have a 9-hour layover in Beijing and a stop at Guangzhou. During the 9-hour layover in Beijing would we be eligible for the 144 hour visa free transit?

Of course, not. Two consecutive stops within China automatically limits you to 24 hour visa free transit. So, you have to count your entire transit time within China, from your first scheduled arrival, in your case in Beijing, until your last scheduled departure, in your case from Guangzhou. If the mentioned time is less than 24 hours, you will be eligible for 24 hour visa free transit and no visa is needed. Quite the contrary, if the transit time is longer than 24 hours, you will have to apply for a Chinese visa in advance.

When you arrive in Beijing, you will approach 24 hour visa free transit where you will apply for a temporary entry permit that will allow you to continue your journey on a domestic flight to Guangzhou. Also, you will be able to exit the airport and to make a short visit to the city. Now, just check your itinerary to see whether you will be eligible for this visa free transit option.
