I'm flying to Thailand with a US Travel Document and a visa for Thailand. I have a 7-hour layover in China. Should I be good with the 24-hour China visa exemption or should I attempt to get a visa for China (or e-visa) since I'm a US permanent resident and not a US citizen, just for the layover? Thank you.
My Current nationality is Stateless (parents were refugees from USSR in the early 90's). I wish to layover at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN).
A query through Timatic, the database used by airlines to check document requirements, a visa is necessary for passengers holding travel documents issued to stateless persons (or refugees or travel documents for aliens).
The G Visa is for those who transit through China, applied for at the consular office that serves your area of residence (locations are Washington, DC; Chicago, IL; Houston, TX; Los Angeles, CA; New York, NY; San Francisco, CA). The regular processing time is about 4 working days.
