I will be transmitting through Guangzhou airport in December for 4.5 hours on a South African passport. Do I need a visa, please confirm the requirements
Surprised and disappointed to find there's a 5 week wait for the first available appointment!!
I'm in a bit of a hurry, do you know of some way I can get my visa sooner?
Cheers
I've come across the same issue, 4 week . Is this still the case?
So there's no way to submit an application without online
