问：“我需要在XX地转机，到底要不要办这个国家的签证啊？”。

Today, I will giveyou a brief introduction on the problem of transit visa

今天给大家科普一下转机时过境签的问题

What is a transitvisa?

什么是过境签？

A transit visa is avisa that allows a citizen to pass through a third country (region)for transportation after obtaining an entry visa to the country(region) .

过境签证指的是公民取得前往国家（地区）的入境签证后，搭乘交通工具时，途经第三国家（地区）的签证。

Long-distance traveloften requires connecting flights in a third-place ode Hong Kong(including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan). What we need to make clearat this time is whether we need to apply for a visa for a transitcountry or region.

长途旅行时往往会需要在境外（含港澳台）第三地转机，这时候我们需要明确的是，是否需要办理一个过境国家或地区的签证。

Regulations ofvarious countries on transit

各个国家关于转机的规定

So which countriesmust apply for a transit visa (even if it does not leave the airportrestricted area), which countries in transit can apply for a transitvisa (in addition to visa-free countries on arrival), and what arethe rules for connecting flights to Schengen countries, and whatabout connecting flights to Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan? Let's findout

那么哪些国家必须申请过境签/签证（哪怕不出机场禁区），哪些国家过境可以落地办理过境签（除了落地签免签国家），申根国家转机又是怎么规定的，港澳台转机呢？来了解一下~

Asian transit

亚洲国家转机

1. Japan(transfer to avoid overnight stay, Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND) andOsaka Kansai Airport (KIX) only)

1、日本（转机避免过夜，仅限东京羽田机场（HND）和大阪关西机场（KIX））

Chinese passengerstransiting through Japan International Airport do not need to applyfor transit visas or other types of entry visas if they do not needto stay overnight.

中国旅客在日本国际机场转机，如果不需要停留过夜，则不需要办理过境签证或者其他类别的入境签证。

If you need to stayovernight, it depends on whether the airport is open 24 hours or notto apply for an entry/transit visa. The only airports in Japan thatare open 24 hours are Tokyo Haneda Airport and Osaka Kansai Airport.

如果需要停留过夜，要视机场是否为24小时开放而决定是否需要办理入境/过境签。日本24小时开放的机场只有东京羽田机场和大阪关西机场。

Narita InternationalAirport, another important airport in Tokyo, is also availablewithout a visa. It is worth noting, however, that Narita Airport isnot open 24 hours a day, and if you buy a ticket and need to spendthe night at the airport, it is inevitable that you will need a visato leave the airport.

东京的另一重要机场成田机场也是可以免签转机的。但值得注意的是，成田机场并非24小时开放，如果你购买的机票需要在机场过夜，那离开机场需要签证就是不能避免的宿命。

Note: The onlyairports in Japan that are open 24 hours are Haneda Airport andKansai Airport.

注意：日本24小时开放的机场只有羽田机场和关西机场。

2、Korea(holding the "U.S. visa", the maximum stay of 30 days)

2、韩国（手持“美国签证”尚方宝剑，最长可停留30天）

Chinese travelerswith tickets departing Korea within 72 hours, transferring at IncheonInternational Airport and participating in the InterchangeSightseeing Program (Incheon Airport has the appropriate window incharge) can enjoy a 72-hour visa waiver for the Korea MetropolitanArea.

中国旅客如果持有72小时内离开韩国的机票，在仁川国际机场转机并参加换乘观光项目(仁川机场有相应的负责窗口)，可以享受韩国首都圈地区免签72小时。

Chinese travellersholding visas to the following specific countries and departuretickets within 30 days may stay visa-free for 30 days whiletransiting through the Republic of Korea, as follows:

持有以下特定国家签证以及30天内离境机票的中国旅行者，可以在过境韩国时免签停留30天，具体如下：

1. A valid visa from the United States (except for group Visa), Canada, Australia (except for electronic visa) or New Zealand to the country of issue via Korea

持美国(团签除外)、加拿大、澳大利亚(电子签证除外)或新西兰的有效签证，途经韩国前往签证签发国

③持有欧洲30国任一国家的有效签证，经韩国前往签证发放国或从签证发放国出发经韩国回国（注意：是回国，不包含前往第三国）

5. Singapore (youdon't need a transit visa if you don't want to enter the country, youneed a transit visa for Budget Airlines!)

5、新加坡（不入境是不需要办理过境签的，廉航需要过境签！）

In theory, Singaporedoes not need to apply for a transit visa if it does not enter thecountry. First of all, if you purchase a connecting flight ticket,you do not need to go through immigration to pick up your luggage atthe transit point. After arriving in Singapore, you only need tochange planes in the terminal building, the airline will transferyour luggage directly to the next flight. No transit visa orSingapore visa is required! You Don't have to leave the airport or gothrough Singapore customs.

新加坡理论上不入境是不需要办理过境签的，首先，购买联程机票的话在中转地不需要出关入境拿行李的，这样到新加坡之后只需在航站楼里面转机就够了，行李的话航空公司会替你直接转到下一班航班的。完全不需要过境签或者新加坡签证！也不需要离开机场或者过新加坡海关。

If you hold a validvisa from a developed country, you can enjoy a 96-hour transitvisa-free transit facility (VFTF) in Singapore, which allows you toleave the country for a connecting flight to another country or fromanother country to Singapore within 96 hours. But it's important tonote that developed countries are Australia, Canada, Japan, NewZealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, andSwitzerland. And you can only apply for a transit visa once for around trip.

如果你持有发达国家的有效签证，就能享受新加坡过境96小时的免签证转机设施（VFTF）：在96小时内离境转机飞往其他国家或从其他国飞抵新加坡转机。不过大家一定要注意，发达国家是指澳大利亚、加拿大、日本、新西兰、英国、美国、德国、瑞士。而且往返只可以申请一次过境签证。

If you are flying ontwo different airlines or low-cost (low cost) carriers and havebooked a non-linked ticket and your baggage is not directly connectedto your final destination, please proceed through immigration to thearrivals hall. If you have checked baggage, please collect yourbaggage and go through customs inspection before proceeding to thefollowing transfer counters to obtain your boarding pass for the nextflight and process your check-in. Passengers who need to go throughimmigration must bring a valid travel document such as a visa toenter Singapore.

如果你乘坐的是两家不同的航空或廉价（低成本）航空公司、并且预定的不是联程票而您的行李未被直挂到最终目的地，请通过入境检查前往入境大厅。如有托运行李，请提取行李并通过海关检查，再前往下列的转机柜台领取您下一个航班的登机牌办和处理值机手续。需要通过入境检的旅客必须携带有效的旅行证件，例如入境新加坡的签证。

The low-costairlines operating at Changi airports include: Asia Airlines, AirIndia Express, Cebu Pacific, Firefly, Jetstar, Mark India, LionAirways, Cool Air, Tiger Airways, Spring Airlines, cross jet andWestern.

在樟宜机场运营的廉价（低成本）航空公司包括：亚洲航空、印度航空快运、宿雾太平洋航空、飞萤航空、捷星航空、马印航空、狮子航空、酷航、虎航、春秋航空、越捷航空和西部航空.

If the terminal usedby low-cost airlines does not have a special check-in counter, youwill need to check in at the departure lobby after entering thecountry and undergo customs inspection before boarding.

廉航使用的专用候机楼没有设置专门的转机手续办理柜台的，则需要入境之后到离境登机大厅办理登机手续，接受海关检查后登机。

6. Thailand(transit visa is required for non-connecting flights)

6、泰国（转机如非联程机票需办理过境签）

First of all, itdepends on the airport, there are two airports in Bangkok, if thearrival and departure are not one airport, then you need a visa.Then, if the arrival and departure are the same airport, it dependson whether your checked luggage is directly connected to thedestination, if not and you need to pick up your luggage and check itin again after arriving in Bangkok, then you also need a visa.

首先看机场，曼谷有两个机场，如果到达和出发不是一个机场，那你需要签证。再来，到达和出发是同一个机场，要看你的托运行李是否直挂到目的地，如果不直挂并且需要在到达曼谷后取行李并再次托运的话，那你也是需要签证的。

If you do not havechecked baggage or if your baggage is directly attached, you can gothrough the international transit channel directly after getting offthe plane without a visa.

没有托运行李或者行李是直挂的话，下飞机后直接走国际中转通道，无需签证。

If you need to applyfor a visa, please note that the Thai government requires a transitvisa for Chinese tourists who only transit through Thailand to athird country, or who return from a third country via Thailand,transit visa allows 15-day stay in Thailand.

如果需要办理签证，就要注意一点，泰国政府规定：凡目的地是第三国仅从泰国过境者，或者从第三国经泰国返回的中国游客必须要办过境签，过境签可在泰国停留15天。

It is also importantto note that transit visas must be processed in advance at the Thaiembassies in China, not on the spot in Thailand.

而且一定要注意的是，过境签证必须事先在泰国驻中国各领使馆办理，不能在泰国境内当场办理。

So you can apply fora visa on arrival in Thailand, the process is very simple, as long asyou prepare the documents in accordance with the regulations and donot leave a bad record in Thailand, the visa on arrival is sure topass.

所以完全可以到了泰国再办理落地签，办理流程很简单，只要按照规定准备好材料，并没有在泰国留下不良记录，落地签是肯定都会通过的。

7. Malaysia(visa-free transit, as long as you hold a third country visa andplane ticket)

7、马来西亚（过境免签，只要持有第三国签证和机票）

If you buy specialAirAsia tickets, many of them require a connection in Kuala Lumpur,so Malaysia's transit visa is worth paying attention to!

如果买亚航的特价机票，很多都需要在吉隆坡转机，所以马来西亚的过境签值得关注！

In Malaysia, if youdo not leave the airport, you do not need to apply for a transitvisa, if you are a joint ticket directly off the plane and followeveryone to the immigration building when there is a special jointpassage over, no visa required.

在马来西亚转机，如果不出机场的话是不需要办理过境签的，如果你是联程机票直接下了飞机跟着大家走到入境大楼时有一个专门的联程通道过去就好了，不需要签证。

However, if you donot buy a connecting ticket separately, you will have to re-enter thecountry and re-enter Indonesia, so you need to apply for a 120-hourfree transit visa.

但如果不是联程机票你是分开买的话就要入境再重新办理印尼的入关，所以需要你办理120小时免费过境签证。

中国公民可以在乘坐飞机航班去第三国，在吉隆坡中转期间，免费申请过境签，在西马(包括吉隆坡、槟城、兰卡威、热浪岛、新山等地)停留不超过5天。因为5天是120小时，所以马来西亚过境签又被为”120小时过境签“。

Chinese citizens canapply for transit visas free of charge on flights to third countriesand during transit in Kuala Lumpur, stay in Peninsular Malaysia(including Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Redang Island, JohorBahru, etc.) not more than 5 days. Because 5 days is 120 hours,Malaysian transit visa is also known as the "120-hour transitvisa".

Chinese citizensneed to meet the following conditions before they can apply for atransit visa

中国公民需要满足以下条件才可以申请过境签

I.You must have a confirmed ticket for a flight to the third/nextcountry, which cannot last more than 120 hours.

一、必须拥有已确认的前往第三/下一个国家的续航机票，续航机票不能超过120小时。

II.Only two airports in Kuala Lumpur (KLIA and KLA2) can be applied forby air, but land entry through Thailand and Singapore is not allowed.
