Yes, you are definitely and without any doubt eligible for 24 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa. You will have to cross the immigration in order to collect and re-check your luggage, but you should not be worried about it at all. Here is what will you do upon your landing in Haikou:
- Upon landing in Haikou you will fill out arrival card and tick transit in the appropriate box on the arrival card
- Perform fingerprinting at automatic fingerprinting machine
- Approach 24/240 hour visa free transit counter where you will present your flight tickets, your arrival card and fingerprinting receipt
- You will receive a temporary entry permit in your passport
- You will cross the entry immigration because you will have to collect and re-check your luggage for your flight to UK and also because of the fact that your flight Haikou to Changsha is purely a domestic one regardless of the fact that it will be the same plane from Haikou all the way to UK
- You will collect your luggage and re-check it at the appropriate check-in counters
- When you have done it, you will head to the gate for your flight to Changsha.
- Upon landing in Changsha you will cross the exit immigration and head to the gate for your flight to UK
I would like to inform you that Lithuanian citizens are eligible for 240 hour visa free transit, so even if your entire flight itinerary is longer than 24 hours, you would be eligible for a longer scheme and you could travel also without a visa.
You can start your travel with absolute peace of mind and I wish you a great journey.
