Policy: If you are transiting through China to a third destination, you may be eligible to stay for up to 10 days (240 hours) without a visa. The policy currently applies to nationals of 55 countries and allows entry through designated ports across 24 provinces and municipalities.

Policy: China now allows foreign travelers to complete the arrival card online before departure through official channels, including the National Immigration Administration website, government service platforms, the NIA 12367 service, and WeChat or Alipay mini programs. Travelers who do not complete it in advance may still submit the required information on arrival at the port of entry. For first-time visitors, our team helps clarify what needs to be prepared before departure so the arrival process in China feels smoother, clearer, and less stressful. （https://en.nia.gov.cn/n147418/n147463/c191530/content.html?utm_source； https://en.nia.gov.cn/n147418/n147468/c187308/content.html?utm_source）

Policy: Foreign visitors staying in hotels in China are generally registered by the hotel at check-in. If staying in a private home or another non-hotel residence, the traveler or host must complete accommodation registration within 24 hours of arrival. As of 2026, this may be completed either online through official National Immigration Administration channels or offline with the local public security authorities. In addition, under China's Exit and Entry Administration Law, foreign nationals aged 16 and above are required to carry their passport, other valid international travel document, or valid stay or residence permit, and present it when required. For first-time visitors, we help clarify these requirements in advance so arrival and onward travel feel smoother and easier to manage. （https://english.www.gov.cn/services/visitchina/202603/21/content_WS69ce124cc6d00ca5f9a0a368.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com； https://en.nia.gov.cn/n147413/c196926/content.html?utm_source； https://en.nia.gov.cn/n147418/n147458/c155978/content.html?utm_source）

Policy: China's travel environment is highly digital, with mobile payments, app-based services, and online entry procedures now forming an important part of everyday travel. In February 2026, Chinese authorities issued new guidelines to improve the convenience of digital services for foreign visitors, including better access to telecommunications services and digital payment systems. Foreign travelers can also link international bank cards to major mobile payment platforms, while online arrival card filing has been introduced through official National Immigration Administration channels before departure. For first-time visitors, Chajense helps clarify these practical steps in advance, so arrival and daily travel in China feel smoother, clearer, and easier to manage. （https://english.www.gov.cn/news/202602/05/content_WS69849d8ac6d00ca5f9a08eff.html?utm_source； https://english.www.gov.cn/news/202405/25/content_WS665125c5c6d0868f4e8e770d.html?utm_source； https://en.nia.gov.cn/n147418/n147468/c187308/content.html?utm_source）
