Q: How Does This 72 Hour Visa Free Transit Work?
I'm trying to persuade my friend to come through Beijing on her way home. How does the 72 hr visa free transit work? She has a British passport, so does the airline carrying her in and out of Beijing have to be the same? Does she need to register beforehand? Is it super easy?
Anyone done it, know someone who has done it, or knows the rules?

Still do research because China is messed up. But it should work like any other country that has visa on a arrival. Show your passport and shes in.. Same as you going to Hongkong. No paper work, no registration. Nothing.
Side note.... Doesnt it seem odd that visa restrictions are getting tighter and thery are kicking out people for overstaying their visas.. Yes anyone could just fly to beijing or dalian and get in with no visa or background check and then just fall off the map??
icnif77:
In HK, there's no entering visa, because you hold passport from countries, which are allowed to stay in HK 90 days. Same as EU passport holder doesn't need visa for entering USA, or reverse.
There's list of countries, which residents can enter and stay in HK for 90 days on HK Consulate website.

yeah, but beijing and other certain cities are now the same.... But instead of 90 days its only 3 days.
