About:24-Hour Visa-Free Transit

24 Hour TWOV for Philippine Citizen - June 2025

Hi! On June 2025 - I am a Philippine Citizen who will be flying from Manila, Philippines to Munich, Germany. The flight has a 15 hour layover in China (via Beijing Capital International Airport). Thus, the route of my journey is Philippines to China (layover) and finally Germany. Given that, I wanted to check if I can avail of the 24 Hour TWOV? I will have all 3 requirements ready: (1) Passport; (2) onward air ticket with seat and date; (3) Schengen Visa for Germany.

Thank you in advance for the help!

Yes, Cuayo, you can enjoy 24h TWOV. Manila – Beijing – Munich is qualified for this policy, so you do not need to apply for any visa in advance. Have a nice trip!

Cuayo, your itinerary is definitely eligible for 24 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa. It is important that your layover in China is shorter than 24 hours based on scheduled arrival and scheduled departure time. Since your layover is a long one, you will maybe want to exit the airport. In that case you have to be aware of the following. Immediately upon your landing the first thing that you will do will be to approach 24/240 hour visa free transit counter where you will apply for a temporary entry permit by presenting your flight itinerary and your hotel booking accommodation if you plan to have a hotel stay. In any case, it is important to understand the fact that the issuing of the temporary entry permit is not a passenger's right, but a bonus that is offered based on discretionary decision to those with long layovers, disabled passengers and those with small children. In any case, you should try and hopefully it will be resolved in your favor, although you can expect both outcomes. In the case of the negative outcome, you will just wait for your next flight in the transit zone of Beijing airport. I wish you a pleasant journey.
