About:24-Hour Visa-Free Transit
24-Hour Visa-Free entry permit and Baggage Handling in Beijing PEK Airport T3.
Hello from Tokyo.
I am assisting a Russian national friend with preparations for returning to Russia.
This friend will be flying with Air China in June, traveling from Tokyo to Vladivostok via Beijing Capital International Airport (Terminal 3), with a layover of 18 hours and 15 minutes.
During the layover in Beijing, they plan to stay at a transit hotel arranged by the airline.
We are hoping to take advantage of China’s 24-Hour Visa-Free entry permit policy.
In order to be granted entry under this policy, would it be better not to check the baggage through to the final destination, and instead collect it in Beijing?
I would greatly appreciate your advice.
Thank you very much in advance.
