I will be flying through Guangzhou in early November. I qualify for all aspects of the 24 hour transit without visa (TWOV) but now I'm reading a lot of stories online about people being denied the right to leave the airport even when they qualify.
Has anyone done this recently? Is there any way to increase your chances of getting approval? I am scheduled to land at 5:45 am and depart at 4:45 pm (11 hour layover).
My plan was to hire someone to pick us up at the airport and drive us to a few places, but now that seems risky.
