Understanding China's Visa Policies
30-Day Visa-Free (46 countries)
China's unilateral policy lets citizens of 46 countries enter without any pre-approval, for up to 30 days. Valid through December 31, 2026. Enter via any port — air, land from Hong Kong, or sea.
240-Hour Transit (55 countries)
If you're genuinely transiting through China to another country, you can stay up to 10 days without a visa. You need a confirmed onward ticket. This is NOT for day trips or direct visits.
Bilateral Agreements
Some countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Russia) have separate bilateral visa-free agreements with China that are not part of the 46-country unilateral policy.
⚠️ Policies change — always verify before travel
China's visa policies have been expanding rapidly. This tool reflects the latest announced policies as of February 2026, but rules can change with short notice. Always confirm at en.nia.gov.cn before booking.
