Transit visa country

? In recent years, with the development of international relations, many countries have simplified the transit permit procedures, allowing a certain period of time without applying for a transit visa. Other countries stipulate that if you stay less than 24 hours, you can get a visa, but you can't leave the terminal or airport. If you want to leave the airport for more than 24 hours or enter a local city, you need to apply for a transit visa. The following countries need transit visas.
