About:24-Hour Visa-Free Transit

Transit Visa

Colombian passport holder travelling Hanoi-Shenzen-Beijing-Paris, with 3 and 2 hours lay over respectively, with the same airline (it matters?). As I have to do 2 lay overs in China (less than 12 hours in total in the China), I just want to clarify if I can do it under the 24 free-transit visa and that I no need to get complex visa.

Camilo, your itinerary is eligible for 24 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa. Under 24 hour visa free transit you have right to have several stops within mainland China and those stops could be even performed by different airlines and unrelated tickets. In any case, it is much easier when you have your entire journey on one ticket. At the time of your check-in in Hanoi you will state that you travel to Paris via China using 24 hour visa free transit. After a short check, you will be allowed to board the plane for your Shenzhen bound flight. Upon your landing in Shenzhen the first thing that you will do will be to approach 24/240 hour visa free transit counter where you will present your flight itinerary and apply for a temporary entry permit. This is all free of any charge. After a short check, you will be granted a permit and then you will cross the immigration because your next flight is a domestic one. So, after the immigration you will head to the gate for your flight to Beijing. In Beijing, you will just cross the exit immigration and head to your flight for Paris. In both Shenzhen and Beijing you will have to be very expedient because your layovers are relatively short. This is all doable, but you should be agile and do the things fast. Have a pleasant journey.
