Does anyone know if the following itinerary is valid for a visa-free stopover in Guangzhou?  Brisbane, Australia -> Singapore -> Guangzhou -> Brisbane?  If I buy the tickets multi-city will this work? Will it not work if I book it all on Singapore Airlines since technically I'm going through Singapore in order to arrive back home?

Assuming one wants to travel through China, what are the rules for visa-free access? To be more specific:   How does the 24-hour visa free transit work? How does the 72-hour version work? What does a person ineligible for either of these programs have to do to transit China? Do the programs apply to flights only or do they also work for transit on land? Would a visitor save much hassle by using visa free transit instead of just getting a visa?      NB: this is intended as a canonical question on transiting China

I'm travelling from Madrid to Brisbane, but I have a 9 hours layover at Dubai Airport. I do not plan to leave the airport, and the connection is with the same airline (Emirates). I'm from El Salvador.    Do I need a transit visa?

I want to visit some countries my flights transit through. I live in Pakistan and flights to America often transit through the UK or Europe. Flights to Europe mostly transit from Middle East. I assume that I need to have a regular visit Visa for these countries.  Can I book some flight that allows me to exit the airport and stay about 2-3 days (48-72 hours) in the country I'm transiting through?

I have two different bookings on British Airways and Emirates.  Booking 1 (British Airways): Washington (IAD) -> London (LHR) -> Dubai  Booking 2 (Emirates): Dubai -> Hyderabad  I have a 5 hour stop in Dubai but do not have a visa to leave the airport. British Airways says they won't through-check my bags. Emirates says it won't be a problem since Emirates and BA are partner airlines.   Not sure what I should do at this point. My flight is tomorrow so its too late to apply for a visa. I have actually done with before without a problem on the same two airlines. The only difference was that it was on a single ticket booked through a travel website.

I filled out a form early November to get a Swiss visa (applying in Singapore but not Singaporean) with my travel dates as 19.12.2017 to 02.01.2018. The first available appointment was on the 1st of December and I took it. During the time in between, my travel dates changed to one week later (both arrival and departure). Now, my travel itinerary and supporting documents all have different dates from the dates on the form. What do I do?  I can fill out a new form with the right dates without paying any fees but the online ID on that form will be different.   As mentioned in the comments, I haven't got my visa yet - the interview is tomorrow.

Can I expect to encounter any problem when visiting the Republic of China (Taiwan) after visiting the People's Republic of China or vice versa?  I mean, some countries have political clashes with each other, and sometimes such clashes just poison a traveller's life. It happens sometimes that a passport with stamped visa of one specific country is not even recognized as a valid document by another country.   UPD: I'll be most probably on Russian passport, but I believe it would be nice if you can provide any kind of information on this issue, specific to whatever citizenship - just like @Tom Squires have done. So it can be useful to any traveller as well.

Someone told me I need a ticket out of Thailand in order to enter.  I am traveling to Thailand, on March 18th. I have a Ticket from Bangkok to Sweden booked for June 4th.   I will be staying in Thailand for 2 weeks when I arrive there, then traveling around Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam until June 4th when I leave.   With that ticket out of Thailand, will I be able to get in and get a (30 day) Visa-On-Arrival (or not because the ticket out is not within the first 30 days). Or do I need to show proof that I am leaving within 2 weeks of being there at first?

Do I need to get out of International Zone at Charles de Gaulle airport when changing terminals from 1 to 2e?   I'm flying ULN-Beijing-Paris-Manchester. ULN-Paris is Air China then Paris-MCR is Flybe. I have 3.40 hours between the connecting flight at Charles De Gaulle airport. my problem is that Air China won't check my baggage to my final destination. I have to pick it up then re-check again. If I don't have to leave the international zone of the airport, then I won't need a transit visa. Do I have to leave the international zone and go through passport control to collect my bag and re-check it in again to board Flybe to Manchester? Also is 3:40 hours enough to do all of this when solo traveling with a 3-year-old child? If I decide to travel baggage free and with carry-on only, I don't need to leave transit zone to change terminals?   Than you very much for any advice!

Is there a website or some other way to find out if I need a transit visa for a short stop in the UK on my way somewhere else? Ideally this should give me the answer for all nationalities, and take into account any other visas I may have.

In the next two months I will be flying overseas to the Philippines to pick up my fiancee. I will be booking a round trip ticket, and will need to find a way to book her a ticket on the same route back as my return leg… but I can't seem to figure out a good way to do this.  Would I be better off booking two round-trip tickets, and let her seat fly empty for the trip there? Is this something where I would be better off using a travel agent instead of trying to book online or direct?

I will be travelling from Udaipur to Bangalore via connecting flights. My first flight will land in Mumbai at 8:15 AM and the second one will depart from Mumbai at 8:45 AM. Both are Jet Airways flights.   Actually these tickets have been provided to me by my employer. I shared my concern with them that the layover time is very short, and the chances of missing flights are high. But they are saying that Jet Airways will make sure that I make it to the second flight. But still I have my doubts.   Can you please tell me if this is a fine arrangement. Thanks in advance.

I'm transiting through China in Kunming, China.  I'm a South African national and do NOT fall under the 72-hour visa free program. However on [their official (travelchina) website][1] it says:     Nationals of most countries are eligible for the 24-hour direct   transit, while a visa is needed for the passengers transiting on   Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia,   Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey,   United Arab Emirates and Yemen passports.   I'm sorry if I'm missing this, but the above is rather badly worded for me does "nationals of most countries" include ALL countries except those mentioned in the list shown?  Also again sorry if I'm missing this but again it is rather badly worded for me. I will fly via Thailand to China and then via China to Canada with an 8-hour layover in China. I see Thailand is mentioned on the list. I have a Thailand residency permit where I currently reside... Would that affect me at all?  Also, any idea if I can exit the airport in China and come back under the 24-hour visa exemption (should I be exempt)?  Many thanks.

I am a Vietnamese citizen. I am planning to buy a round-trip flight ticket from Taipei to Los Angeles (America) and I will transit in Seoul airport.   Do I need a visa if I want to enter Seoul (not over 72 hours)?   My first route is TPE-ICN-LAX, do I need a visa if I stay one night in Seoul? My second route is LAX-ICN-TPE, do I need a visa if I stay one night in Seoul?  Of course, I have a valid US visa, and onward ticket that I booked.

I am an Indian travelling from Cochin to Beijing via Kuala Lumpur, using Air Asia. My flight has a layover in Kuala Lumpur of about 10 hours. While booking, it was mentioned that I will need a transit visa in Malaysia and I need to check out and again check in.   Do I need a transit visa? If yes, how to get that from KLIA2 airport after checking out? I have a China visa with employment pass endorsed on my passport. Is that enough for travelling from Cochin to Kuala Lumpur? What are the formalities to get a transit visa? Is that straightforward?   Kindly guide me.

I have a flight from Stuttgart to Frankfurt whose ETA at Frankfurt is 9:10. I have a connecting flight from Frankfurt to Chennai at 10:50. Both the flights are booked as part of the same ticket. So, there is a layover of 1h40m at Frankfurt airport. Would this be enough? I have been watching the terminals closely and I find that my first flight exits me at A2-3 and the connecting flight is at C15/C14. IS there a passport control and security check along the way and would this time be sufficient?  If i miss the flight, what happens?   Both flights are operated by Lufthansa

A friend of mine came from Australia on the WVP and stayed 92 days. I made a mistake booking Her flight scheduling a Saturday arrival/departure at DFW. This amounted to a 92 day stay and with no funds to rebook a low cost flight through Qantas it was necessary to leave on the scheduled flight.   Question # 1) Was a automatic I-94W submitted by the airlines? She had no customs forms to fill out upon departure.   Question #2) How does this effect another WVP being issued if applied for?
