Good to know
- China's unilateral visa exemption (as of the NIA's policy interpretation, updated from Ministry of Foreign Affairs information dated 2026-02-17) lets ordinary-passport holders of eligible countries enter visa-free for business, tourism, family/friend visits, exchanges or transit, for stays of up to 30 days.
- Separately, China operates a 240-hour (10-day) visa-free transit policy for eligible nationalities entering through any of 65 designated ports across 24 provincial-level regions, provided the traveller is heading to a third destination; this arrangement is extended through 2026-12-31 (per gov.cn, National Immigration Administration).
- Eligibility is nationality-specific — consult the official NIA policy page for the current country list applicable to a given passport before travel.
- Since 2025-11-20, foreign travellers can complete arrival/departure cards online in advance or use self-service kiosks at inspection points.
