Plan your trip to China

Check your entry options first, then sort out payments, internet access and getting around.

Before you book

Check your mainland China entry options

Choose the country on your ordinary passport. The result appears here—no extra page or account needed.

Select the passport you will actually use, not your country of residence.

Planning a later trip? Some current waivers have end dates.

Important: This mainland China planning aid is not an entry approval. It covers the 50-country unilateral waiver, three commonly used mutual agreements and the 57-country 240-hour transit programme. Other bilateral, regional and special-passport rules may apply. Airline and border authorities make the final decision.

Policy data last checked . Always reconfirm before booking or flying. See other mutual visa-waiver agreements ↗
