Asked by Katherine from South Africa | Dec. 18, 2019 00:06
About:Wuhan Travel

I am a South African travelling from Bangkok to New York via Wuhan on China Southern Airlines.

Tianhe airport does not offer checking luggage straight through, so upon arrival in WH we need to collect our luggage and re-check in for the New York flight.

Does anyone have any information regarding transit visa or if they are needed for this kind of travel?

Thanks in advance.

If your layover or better to say transit time in Wuhan is less than 24 hours, you will be eligible for 24 hour visa free transit and you don't need any kind of visa.

You will print out your flight tickets and bring those printouts with you. Also, you will declare at check-in in Bangkok that you will travel to New York via Wuhan using 24 hour visa free transit. After a short inspection of your flight tickets, you will be allowed to board the plane.

Upon your arrival, you will approach 24 hour visa free transit counter where you will apply for a temporary entry permit to be allowed to collect your luggage and to recheck for your flight to New York. Basically, this is it.
