Is it possible to travel from China to a country and then go directly from that country to another country?

Yes, such as Schengen countries (Schengen Convention countries) - France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Malta and Liechtenstein.

The purpose of the Schengen Convention is to eliminate mutual border checkpoints and coordinate border controls outside the Schengen area. It means that border controls will be eliminated between six of the seven member states, and people holding valid ID cards or visas from any member state can move freely within all member states. Under the agreement, tourists can legally visit all other Schengen countries if they hold a valid visa from one of the countries.

If you are not a Schengen country, you must apply for a visa on arrival. If the country you are traveling to does not support a visa on arrival, you must apply for a visa related to the country of travel.

Notes on outbound travel

Important documents such as passports, visas, ID cards, credit cards, and air and ship tickets should be carried with you and kept properly. Before departure, it is best to make a copy of each and put it in your handbag, and put the original copy in your underwear pocket.

Don’t agree easily when someone checks your ID. You should report it to the team leader for handling. If the team leader is not present, you can ask the other party to show their ID card or work certificate, otherwise they will be refused. If the other party is a police officer, you should also write down his ID number, badge number and car number.

Married women should wear a ring when traveling to show strangers that you are married. Also, never drink from strangers or accept invitations from strangers (even if they are girls).
