Guys, We are travelling to Nepal on China Southern Airlines via JFK-Guangzhou- KTM route. I am Nepali passport holder with GC status and my aunty is US passport holder. We have 2 hours transit while going to Nepal and 6.5 hours while coming back to US. Do we need transit visa? Has any thing changed on transit visa recently because some one I know was not allowed to take flight 3 days back. She had travel document(no passport) issue by US government, valid visa of Nepal and she had same route on same airlines. Last edited: 12-Oct-19 04:02 PM

I can't see transit visa category at Chinese Embassy Washington DC website. Any insight on transit visa? or url? You mentioned Nepali passport holder with Transit visa. Do they have transit visa acquired from US or from Nepal?

Here's the real info: no issue for Nepali passports if the transit is less than 24 hours. If transit is going to be more than 24 hours, the airlines won't even let you board the plane at JFK if you don't have Chinese visa. For US passport, no such issues. They will put you in a hotel in Guangzhou if your transit is longer than 24 hours, and the airlines will drop you at the hotel and pickup again next day.
