Further info (please read) - Passport holders from 38 countries can enter China visa-free for up to 30 days. This is different (and better) than the 240-hr visa-free travel policy featured in this video. CHECK TO SEE IF YOUR COUNTRY IS ON THIS LIST! The full list of European countries now includes Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, the Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Switzerland. Passport holders from Malaysia, New Zealand and Japan are also eligible.
Some Chinese haters in the comments, we do not welcome your arrival, we only treat friendly people as friends, you don't have to think of yourself too important😅
10 days is not enough! We came back from China yesterday. 3 nights in Shanghai, 3 nights in Nanjing ( lots of historical sites), a night in Yichang to catch a 4 night cruise to Chongqing ( visited the the iconic 3 Gorges Dam), 3 nights in Chongqing ( incredible place too!). Wanted to go to Chengdu too but did not have enough time. We are Malaysians passport holders but resident in England. We have 30 day free visa ( was 15 a few weeks before). From London to Beijing or Shanghai is only a 10 hr direct flight as their airlines fly through Russian air space. Affordable flight tickets.
@@magnetospin But for Australia and New Zealand citizens after HK trip can go to China trip to stay for 30 days visa free and then can take plane to HK back to their country round trip flight.
Even the Korean and Japanese citizens after HK trip can take High speed train at West Kowloon station to Guilin and Hunan Changsha and Zhanjiajie trip and then can take the High speed train to HK take plane back to their countries is the visa free for Korean and Japanese citizens enter to China trip visa for 30 days.
China is an awesome place and you would need more days to enjoy fully. It's one of the safest place like Singapore, no problem hanging out late in the night anywhere,even if you are a female visitor.
hi there, i am chinese student living in nanjing , i just wonder if you need any locals like me to help you with your visit! i am a colledge student in year 2 and really looking forward to start a project like this to help foreigners visit in china! please let me know if you have any questions about china no matter you ask me for tourguide or not, btw i am not professional tourguide , i am just a student who want to help with problems you might face in china!
@ChenKyrie928 that's very kind of you. I think most people are confused BEFORE they get to China on what visa if any they need which depends on which country their passport is and whether they are transiting through China. The rules change regularly. Do you want to teach me Chinese remotely. I can pay via WeChat or Ali Pay
Thanks for the information. But I am a little confused: according to the the website of the Chinese Embassy in Germany you can travel 30 days without visa for touristic and commercial purposes. Furthermore there were no specific provinces pointed out. There are only some provinces, where other rules get applied: Tibet, Hainan, Hongkong and Macao. That is the information that I can get here in the West.
The German has 30-day visa free to visit China while US is excluded, however, the American can visit China with 10-day transition visa free, with specific airports allowed to enter. The German can land any airports of China ,no restriction.
Thanks for letting me know! I just looked into it and I will add the additional info in a tagged comment! I was not aware that there were several countries with 30-day visa free access! Thanks for enlightening me! See pinned comment for more details :)
The key question: one round trip ticket does not qualify for this visa free transit visit: e.g. the trip from USA to CHINA then return to USA will not work under this policy
As long as you are a normal lawful visitor, you don't need to worry about anything. Of course, if you are a criminal, racialist, or culture hater, no country would welcome ya.
Hi can you travel to and from different ports or you have to enter and leave from the same port? Previously it was if you enter, for example, beijing you have to leave via beijing only. TIA!
@jt6231 sorry I should have clarified, UK passport, regarding the new transit visa rules, I know the previous rules you couldn't, but unclear of the new rules as it mentions cross province travel (I'm assuming that means you can travel from one province to another) but nothing about entering and exiting from the same province/port
@@ruzibee3201 I just checked for you. It is not necessary to exit from the same port where you entered. Any departure port is acceptable. Currently, basically every provincial capital city in China can be used for entry and exit (except for Tibet and three or four other provinces). Everything else is very convenient and free.
Only if you are not staying in a hotel. Hotels will deal with registration for you. You also do not need to register if you don't stay in the city for longer than 24 hours.
I would wish for 30 days tranist visa from Chinese government if possible :) In my last trip, I got to visit all the places I wanted in about 20ish days, and I still got myself a few days of spare time to do the shopping. My itinerary were Beijing-6 days, Shanghai-15 days, Hangzhou-7 days, I had visted water park, disneyland, those ancient temples and forbidden city, great wall, the usual. Took a few photos with my trusty canon r10. Although I visted all the touristy spots, I couldn't shake the feeling that I barely scratched the surface, I was only able to explore a few suburbs / districts in each city in my spare moments without a guide, got a glimpse of the non-touristy china, didn't understand a word, but it was fun.
WHAT HE DOES NOT MENTION in this video that if you need the Transit Visa YOU MUST VISIT a 3rd country, you cannot go from Country A to China then Back to Country A. You MUST Go from Country A to China, then within the Visa period you MUST go to Country C. YOU MUST ALSO Have this all booked before you travel and SHOW PROOF that you're travelling to a 3rd Country.
@@markylon if I read it correctly, you can fly directly from your country to Beijing (and other airports as stipulated). You have to show your booked tickets from China to 3rd country.
@@jt6231 So from the UK for example you have to fly to say Beijing and show an onward flight to another country such as Japan or Korea. So as long as you stay in China no longer than your transit visa you can then fly on to your next destination. What you can NOT do is fly from UK to China and Back to UK.
@@markylon that’s my understanding reading from the embassy website! I hope I won’t screwed up as I am taking my family from US to Shanghai, then to Thailand and back to US. Is this your understanding too?
@@jt6231 Yes this is correct. As you're transiting through Shanghai to Thailand from the USA you can have a Chinese Transit Visa when you arrive in Shanghai. :)

But this is the "transit" visa , which means you have to have the ticket from your own country to China, then China to another country? is that right, you can NOT just go there for visiting for up to 10 days then going back. is my understanding right?
YES you are spot on!! Unless you're coming from a country that does not need a visa such as the European ones he mentioned. Countries that need a visa such as the UK you can transit thru China to a 3rd country
You obviously do not know much about China. China’s trade surplus is not close to $1 trillion USD! And China’s infrastructure like trains and metros are very affordable. Crime free cities relatively!
Go or not go to China is your choice, But please do a Google search.... if "China a poor or rich country?" returned result : "China is considered an upper middle-income country and is one of the world's richest countries by GDP". Also inline with the result from Western institutions, IMF and World Bank. Only hypocrite would deliberately spread incorrect financial situation.

I am from Australia, I think it's 30 days for Australia. Don't know how you come up with 10 days ? . I am a bit confused
10 days is for most countries who does not have a visa on arrival policy. Which also has many other limitations
Australia visa free to China stay for 30 days can go to Xinjiang, Tibet for whole China countries.
Remember every city you visit you must register with the police and tell them when you are leaving
Only if you are not staying in a hotel. Hotels will deal with registration for you. You also do not need to register if you don't stay in the city for longer than 24 hours.
@ only 4/5 star hotels have the facilities to register you online other hotels may break the law on your behalf but ultimately you are responsible for

The problem with "memo's" is that when there are floating too many around nobody knows which to follow anymore😉😉
Most of the visa-free policies were intended for the Chinese diaspora in Western countries, and not for actual foreigners. Is this true?

Taiwanese can go to China anytime visa free and stay for as long as they want. Not the smartest pea in the pod, are you?
You can go ANY TIME! Forget about China!
Please everyone go to your local Chinese embassy and INSIST on getting your Taiwan visa there!
Don’t leave until they give you one..
Like Hong Kong and Macao, Taiwan citizens do not need a passport or a regular visa. They can enetr with a Taiwan Compatriot Permit.
Taiwan being part of China, their people can travel visa free. Just like Macao and HK people.
Good for China economy and improve unemployment problems 😊.
They have a forever visa too, just ask the CEO from canada they detained. 6 month free housing after they arrest you without telling you why.
