If the layover time is not beyond 24 hours, you don't need the transit permit. Remember you should apply for a temporary stay permit at the airport in case you want to go outside for a trip.

You may either submit your application for an F type in person, or entrust someone else to submit your application at the Embassy. Documents required for the application are your valid passport and a photocopy of its data page, a filled application form affixed with your color photo taken within six months, and an invitation letter from the relevant entity or individual in China.
