China Visa Waiver for LAX-HKG
Question for everyone - my friend is booking a roundtrip LAX-HKG and then a roundtrip HKG-CTU. He should be eligible for the China visa waiver since we are only staying in CTU for 2 days, right? My only concern is he'd have to basically have to show the Cathay staff in HKG his previous LAX-HKG flight and show them he just came from the US. He then will leave CTU 2 days later back for HKG.
So, he's going US -> China -> HKG (which is allowed), but it's just that the US -> China is on 2 different record locators.
Can anyone help me? Is he ok with the visa waiver?
