Are there any special requirements to utilize the 144 hours Chinese Transit Visa?

score:7

Accepted answer

Ok, here is my actual experience:

When checking in for departure I informed the agent (in the US) that I will be using the 144 hour transit visa. He then requested my onward ticket confirmation to leave China. Make sure it has the flight number, dates, and everything.

He entered in all my information and I was set.

Now, when I arrived in Beijing, make sure you fill out the immigration yellow form on the plane before you get off (will save you some time). You can leave the visa number section blank.

Before you get to immigration, look for the fingerprint stations on the left as you’re walking towards immigration. You will want to do this because they verify your identity at the officer station after you get your transit visa.

After your fingerprints keep going and follow this sign:

After a short ways look for this area on the right:

Make sure you fill out the blue form. Also, it’s important to know you will need the boarding pass you used to come to China, so if you printed it, keep it.

You will also need to show your outbound ticket information (the same info you showed the agent back home). They will ask how long you are staying and take your picture.

After they take your picture and put in the temp visa, head over to the immigration line (no pictures were allowed here), give all your paperwork to the officer, scan your fingerprints again and enjoy China!
