Do you need a Chinese visa for the transit flight Novosibirsk - Urumqi - Guangzhou - Manila, if the time spent in the country is less than 24 hours?
Responds Larisa Barysheva
In this case, it is necessary to issue individual Chinese visas - they are pasted into the passport; double - if you intend to return on the same route.
Visa-free transit can be used only in case of arrival and departure by international flights from one port, for example, Novosibirsk-Urumqi-Manila. The rules of visa-free stay in the PRC are not allowed domestic flights.
Additional explanations on the specifics of the 72-hour visa-free transit can be obtained on the website of the Department of Migration Service of the Ministry of Public Security.
More information about the features of visa-free transit stay can be found in the section "Visa to China" on the page "Questions about China."
