Your itinerary is definitely eligible for 24 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa. Here is what you should do in the exact order:
- Before the flight you will print out your flight tickets (ticket confirmations) and hotel reservation if you plan to stay in a hotel overnight. This is so much easier than handling the tickets over the mobile phone. You should have your flight tickets at hand in both Vancouver and in Beijing.
- Also, before departure you will fill out Chinese arrival card online through China National Immigration administration (NIA) website!
- At the moment of check-in in Vancouver you will present your flight tickets and declare that you are traveling to Delhi via China (Beijing) under 24 hour visa free transit scheme. After a short check, you will be issued a boarding pass for your flight to Beijing.
- Upon landing in Beijing the first thing you will do is to perform fingerprinting at automatic fingerprinting machine.
- After fingerprinting you will proceed to 24/240 hour visa free transit counter where you will apply for the temporary entry permit by presenting your flight tickets and a hotel reservation if you will have one. This is free of any charge. After a short check you will be granted a temporary entry permit.
- After you have obtained a temporary entry permit you will proceed to the immigration.
- After immigration you will collect your luggage and proceed outside of PEK airport.
- You will have an overnight or whatever and then you will return to PEK airport.
- Upon arrival at PEK airport you will look after the check-in counters for your flight to Delhi.
- After you have checked the luggage you will cross the security check (metal detector and the stuff), then exit immigration and finally head to the gate for your flight to Delhi.
This is it. Have a wonderful journey.
