Third country or region as destination is required for 72/144-hour Visa-Free Transit Policies
2024-08-18
Please be aware that only foreign nationals from permitted countries holding valid international travel documents and connecting tickets with information on confirmed dates and seats for transit via China to third countries or regions within specified time frames can apply for the 72/144-hour visa-free transits at the exit-entry border inspection authorities of the ports in the cities where the visa-free transit policies are in effect.
Important Note:
- Visa requirements and border entry procedures are ultimately determined by Chinese government authorities, including the National Immigration Administration (NIA) and Customs. We have no influence over these decisions.
- Please refer to China Embassy in your country for detailed policy, and confirm whether you are qualified for those visa-free policies based on your basic information, detailed itinerary and purpose. You may check the policy on the website, or directly contact them by phone or email.
- You may also check others' experience at Reddit or other platforms, but conclusions from the embassy should be more reliable.
