第三条,如果需要离开转机候机区重新check in 行李,是需要transit visa的。 就这条让人搞不懂。因为纽航转东方,行李是需要拿出来重新检查的,要是按照这条,那就是3个人都要申请过境签证了是吗?作者: howayou 时间: 2013-12-4 23:49:18
You stay in the transit lounge at an airport (if you need to leave the transit lounge to re-check luggage, you will need a Transit visa—check with your airline).
Yes but it also said "check with your airline but for safety, get the transit visa which is FREE to avoid any drama............good luck to them anyway...............
