About:24-Hour Visa-Free Transit

inquiry if transit visa is needed

Hi,

I am from the Philippines and I am working here in Moscow, Russia.

I received a flight ticket from my Company for my vacation this coming December and there is a layover in Beijing & Shanghai. (Moscow-Beijing-Shanghai-Manila)

I will just stay in the airport and I have no plans to go outside.

I think the flight from Beijing to Shanghai is a Domestic flight. So when I landed in Beijing from Moscow do i need to pass thru the immigration for my domestic flight to Shanghai?

In the same situation when I landed to Shanghai from Beijing, do I need to pass thru the immigration for my international flight to Manila?

By the way my luggage will go directly to Manila. So, do I need to apply a Transit Visa?

The overall duration of my layover in Beijing & Shanghai including the flight is only 14 hours.

I am so confused & worried about this situation.

Please help me on my query.

Wilfredo, you do not need any kind of visa because you will be covered by 24 hour visa free transit.

So, when you land in Beijing, the very first thing you will do is to approach 24/144 hour visa free transit where you will apply for a temporary entry permit. This application is free of any charge. Here you will present your flight tickets. After a short check you will be granted a permit and you will continue to the immigration because your next flight is a domestic one.

When you land in Shanghai, you will again cross the immigration without any additional formality because you have to formally exit China in order to take your international flight to the Philippines.

You do not have to be confused at all. You do not need a visa because you will be covered by 24 hour visa free transit. Enjoy your journey.
