TRAVEL ESSENTIALS
Passports & Visas
Begin with the requirements for your nationality and the exact route you intend to travel.
01
Check your own eligibility
China’s entry arrangements differ by nationality, passport type, purpose of visit and itinerary. Visa-free entry and transit arrangements have specific conditions; a route that works for one traveller may not work for another.
02
Use official information
Check the National Immigration Administration and the Chinese embassy or consulate serving your place of residence before booking. Keep the details of your accommodation and onward travel accessible.
03
Allow for special arrangements
Some routes and areas require additional planning or permissions. Confirm these before choosing travel dates, and check separate entry rules for Hong Kong and Macao when included in your itinerary.
