• Passports

Customers must provide valid passport details either at the time of purchase or within 72 hours of booking. Failure to do so may result in cancellation, with customers responsible for any associated costs and fees. Additionally, passports must have a minimum validity of six months for entry into China.

• Visas

A tourist visa is required for travelers entering China on a foreign passport. To avoid delays, we recommend applying for your visa immediately upon receiving your documentation, as processing times may vary due to consulate operating hours.

From November 30, 2024, to December 31, 2025, ordinary passport holders from 38 countries are eligible for visa-free entry into China for up to 30 days for purposes such as business, tourism, family visits, exchange programs, and transit. Travelers who do not meet the visa-free criteria must still apply for a Chinese visa.

Eligible Visa-Free Countries:

France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Malaysia, Switzerland, Ireland, Hungary, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Australia, Poland, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Slovenia, Slovakia, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Republic of Korea, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Malta, Estonia, Latvia, Japan, and Negara Brunei Darussalam.
