Where are the transit signs?

We can't always fully predict the situation when traveling abroad. Bian Xiao will only help you collect some information and sort it out every time you think of some questions, and help you answer them. The problem brought by Bian Xiao this time is, what should I do if I encounter a transit sign?

Then, if there are friends who have this problem or want to know, let's watch it together! See how to solve this problem!

Transit visa:

It refers to the visa for citizens to pass through a third country (region) when they take a means of transportation after obtaining an entry visa for that country (region). That is, not only the entry permit of the destination country (region), but also the entry permit of the transit country (region) is needed. In other words, when you arrive at their site, you need to get the consent of others.

Therefore, when applying for a transit visa, the following points should be noted:

The first trick: avoid staying overnight.

The second measure: avoid connecting flights for more than 24 hours.

The third measure: don't leave the airport transit area.

The fourth measure: holding an American visa, visa-free sword.

The fifth measure: carefully choose the city and airport for connecting flights.

British transit visa-free law:

If you have a visa or stay in the United States/Canada/Japan/Australia/New Zealand/Schengen D countries and go to these countries through the UK, or from these countries to a third country through the UK, you must show your ticket before you can leave the UK. The longest visa-free stay for connecting flights is 24 hours.

Please note that you can't leave the airport transfer area when transferring in the UK. If you want to go to London and watch the sunset on the Thames, you need a British visa.

Bian Xiao will provide two more visa-free tonics. Please take them with you in case of emergency.

1.

Visa policies change frequently. To be on the safe side, it is recommended to consult the latest regulations of the entry and exit websites of relevant countries before purchasing air tickets, consult the airlines and local border control for visa-free conditions, print out relevant web pages and official written replies, and show them to the airport border control and airline check-in counters when necessary.

2. Print boarding pass in advance.

Move to Asia

Japan transit visa-free law:

Avoid staying overnight: transfer on the same day, and don't leave the transfer area without a visa.

Choose airports carefully: Haneda Airport in Tokyo (HND) and Kansai Airport in Osaka (KIX) only. Narita Airport, another important airport in Tokyo, can also transfer without a visa in principle. However, it is worth noting that Narita Airport is not open 24 hours a day. If you need to spend the night at the airport, it is inevitable to leave the airport.

Therefore, if you want to transfer at Narita Airport or transfer between two airports in Tokyo, it is inevitable to sign a transfer.

What exactly is an overnight stay?

For many dogs who stay up late after studying abroad, go to bed at 3 am and start at noon 12, how can they not stay up for the night? However, for Narita Airport, staying at the airport over 12am is an overnight stay. In addition, you can also apply for a "landing permit" for connecting flights within 72 hours.

Pass, that is, transit through landing visa).

Anyone who holds a valid visa from the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and one of the Schengen countries in Europe, and the plane is ready to land within 72 hours, can apply for a 72-hour transit to landing visa at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, but there is no guarantee that it will be obtained. It depends on the mood of the immigration staff.

I'm sorry to be so casual, although I'm sure it can be done most of the time.

The staff's heart is like a needle in the sea, so everyone should be careful. If you really plan to stay for a long time during the transit, you'd better apply for a transit visa in advance. Japan's Tokyo-landing visa policy is effective in both directions. For example, you can apply from China to Tokyo and then to other countries. On the contrary, you can return to China from other countries via Tokyo. ?

But it doesn't matter, because I don't need a transit visa, I ran away happily when I was still on the road, oh, la ~

South Korea transit visa-free Dafa:

Hold the sword of "American visa" and stay for up to 30 days. If you have a visa or residence in the United States/Canada/Japan/Australia/New Zealand/Schengen/UK, and travel to these countries via Korea, or travel from these countries to a third country via Korea, you can apply for a visa-free stay of 30 days.

You can visit Seoul, Busan, Jinzhou and even Jeju Island within one week, and you don't need a Korean visa (you need to provide air tickets/boat tickets to a third country within 30 days, etc.). )!

And the ticket price for connecting flight to Korea is also very affordable! Eat bibimbap first, then drink tofu soup and go shopping in myeongdong. Maybe you can meet Oba or Ernie who makes you feel excited on the way ~

Hong kong transit visa-free law:

Because of its many routes, good service and affordable price, many international students will choose Cathay Pacific to travel between the United States and China. As long as you have a full flight ticket and a valid passport, you don't need a transit visa, and you can stay for 7 days without a Hong Kong and Macao pass!

If you like, you can also visit Hong Kong, see the night view of Victoria Harbour, see Bulan Kwai Fong and have a cup of morning tea before you go.

Taipei transit visa-free solution:

If you buy a plane ticket from the United States and transfer to the mainland in Taipei, as long as you don't leave the airport transfer area, you don't need to worry about the entry permit or the pass to and from Taiwan!

If you see a low-cost return ticket connecting Taiwan Province Province, please don't be intimidated by the Pass for Mainland Residents to and from Taiwan issued by the Ministry of Public Security of China (commonly known as "Mainland Pass" or "Mainland Pass"), the endorsement stamp of the border defense department, and the Entry and Exit Pass for Taiwan Province Province issued by Taiwan Province Province (commonly known as "Entry Permit").

However, if you start from a mainland city and want to transfer to Taipei to fly back to the United States to study, the border inspection brother will seriously refuse to let you go because you don't have a pass to and from Taiwan.

Transfer to North America

Canada visa-free Dafa:

The Canadian Border Service Agency (CBSA) and the Immigration Bureau have established the Canadian Border Protection Agency (not the Canadian Border Protection Agency! ) that is, China citizens visa-free transit Canada project (ChinaTransit

Program). So, you can also transfer to Canada without a visa! But this rule is too complicated, and busy friends choose to watch it for too long.

Bian Xiao will refine the essence for you here.

Hold a valid US visa.

Some people say that American visa can be regarded as a turning point, and Canada is no exception. As long as you have a valid US visa and have not been repatriated by the US government (it sounds scary, so no one should. . . ) It is the first priority for visa-free transfer to Canada.

Select the correct airline (must be operated by the following airlines):

Air Canada

Jazz Air Canada

Cathay Pacific Airways Hong Kong.

Air China

Philippine Airlines

Air China

West jet airlines

China Southern Airlines

Air Canada Express (Skyre SkyRegionalAirlinesInc)

Georgian airlines

Air Canada

What is very humane is that almost all of the above airlines provide services to and from the United States, Canada and China. As long as you pay a little attention when buying, you should meet this condition.

Choose the appropriate transit airport, departure and arrival city;

According to the Canadian Embassy's long article, if you want to get a visa-free, please pass through VancouverInternational.

Airport) and Toronto Pearson International Airport 1 Terminal, please note that there is only 1 Terminal!

If you are an international student who dreams of studying in the United States from Asia, please fly directly to Canada from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong or Taipei to avoid transit visas.

Avoid staying overnight and changing planes twice:

Long Wen also said that a valid joint ticket to and from the United States on the same day can be exempted from a transit visa. If you want to go to the United States, you must enter the customs during the working hours of the US Customs, and you can't stay overnight.

You must also apply for a transit visa for two connecting flights.

US Customs Time at Canadian Airport:

Toronto: 04: 30-2 1: 00

Vancouver: 04: 30-20: 30

Transfer to the Middle East.

Dubai transit visa-free law:

With a China passport, you can transfer in Dubai (within 24 hours) without a visa.

Taking A380 and Emirates Airlines is an important way for many friends to experience local flight and the price is close to the people. You don't need a visa to transfer in Dubai with a China passport. Dubai has a huge airport duty-free shop, so you can have a good time without leaving the airport!

As a fighter among local tyrants and a popular transit point on the east-west route, Dubai International Airport Customs provides a 96-hour transit visa, and you can apply for it if the transit time is more than 8 hours. However, airlines need to apply, provide guarantees and show hotel reservation forms and personal travel itinerary, and this service provided by Emirates is the most convenient and fast.

Fees: Visa fee of 75 USD, entry fee of 565,438 USD +0 USD and hotel fee are required. By the way, Emirates also provides free accommodation. If the ticket value exceeds 650 dollars and the connecting flight time exceeds 8 hours, you can apply! If you bought the ticket through StudentUniverse, you can contact the customer service application of StudentUniverse.

Doha transit visa-free law:

Holding a China passport, you don't need a visa to transfer in Doha, as long as your stay is less than 24 hours!

1. All flights must be Qatar Airways flights.

2. The transfer time is 8-24 hours.

3. There is no "earlier flight" to the same destination (except passengers who travel to and from the following cities via Doha: Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dubai, Kuwait and Muscat).
