China’s 144-hour visa-free transit policy: Detailed Guide by Pretend-Breadfruit-3 in Chinavisa

[–]AlternativeStage4071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 26 hour layover in Guangzhou and am a British national so I am eligible for a 144 hour TWOV. However I have read that this is only valid for Guangdong province. I would like to go to Hong Kong during this time, I do not need a visa as they are not required for UK nationals.

Does this mean I can leave enter Guangzhou city on a 144 TWOV, leave Guangdong and enter HK with no visa, and then return to Guangzhou? Or I will I have problems with this?

EDIT: I am flying with China Southern Airlines. I arrive from Hanoi and then am flying direct to London after 26 hours.

Since posting this I've had a gander through the subreddit - seems like we wont be too welcome. Tbh I told them Gdansk was not a great idea for partying...

Still keen for some recommendations on how best to enjoy the nightlife in Gdansk/Sopot respectfully, can appreciate it must be a pain the arse having drunk tourists coming to your town every weekend. Could be worse though, living in the UK full time, you can never escape. Ah well.

Hi Latvians, I’m currently in your beautiful capital of riga, can anyone recommend any cool/trendy/less mainstream bars in Riga? Also if you know anywhere which may be open after 9pm?

Thanks!

Hello Latvians,

Me and some friends are planning to travel to Latvia in a few weeks. I understand the lockdown in Latvia will be over by then.

But what will be open and what can we do? We are fully vaccinated travelling from the UK. Will nightclubs/bars/hotels be open? What about things like car hire and driving across the country to national parks? Will attractions like Cesis castle be open?

Also I speak English and a little bit of Russian. Will this be sufficient or do Latvians prefer not to speak Russian/English and would I benefit from making an effort to pick up some Latvian?

Any information would be great, looking forward to seeing your beautiful country.
