Beijing 144 Hour Transit Visa
Has anyone got any experience of applying for and getting the 144 hour transit visa in Beijing? I've read a lot on the interwebs and can find nothing definitive other than check with your local embassy. They of course steer you towards the 200.00 option of a full visa etc but this is another 1K for the 5 people going so obviously if we can get the transit visa it's a good saving.
Scenario is, travelling to Manila in November via Beijing on Air China. Cheapest option was to book with a 4 day layover so thought would make a trip of it. All UK passport holders and from what I can see eligible for the transit visa.
I've read you can get it on arrival and there are special lanes to queue for it. I've also read that you need to go through the airline before check in and explain your intentions, nothing is too clear
So has anyone on here actually done this and can give some clarity on the process I would be grateful!
