Does anyone have any solid information about these 72 hour transit visas for China with an New Zealand passport? The travel agent said you didn't need one and it will be issued at the airport, yet the Chinese embassy website for New Zealand said that you're airline can request one for you?
It's 72 hour transit WITHOUT visa (TWOV) and there's a huge thread with wiki on it in the China destination forum. Calling it a 72 hour visa or transit visa will just confuse the airline agents.
