China’s Immigration Act 2003 is the law that regulates the entry, exit, and residency of foreigners who visit Mainland China and its surrounding territories. Anybody looking to visit Mainland China must obtain a visa unless they are from one of the visa-exempt countries. As for the two administrative regions of Macau and Hong Kong, any visitor who intends to visit the region must apply for separate visas as these territories have their visa requirements.

Chinese visas are issued inside and outside China by diplomatic missions and Entry and Exit Administrations called EEAs. For a foreigner from a non-visa-exempt country to enter China, they must apply for a visa outside China, and these visas are not valid for trips to Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan.

There are more than a dozen countries on China’s visa-free list whose citizens do not require visas to enter the country unless they wish to stay much longer than the accepted period without extending their stay. While most have mutual visa-free agreements with China, others are granted unilateral visa waivers. If your country is not on the visa waiver list you need a visa to enter China.

Visitors from the selected countries who hold official public affairs passports don’t need visas to enter China especially if they are coming for official assignments. 

Citizens from some countries may visit China without a visa for up to 30 days if accompanied by a tour operator registered in both countries.  The countries are Azerbaijan,  Moldova, Georgia, Turkmenistan and Russia. 

The number of  nationalities eligible for tour group visas keep changing and at why no means static as more countries may be added in future.

Note: Tourists from Canada, New Zealand, the USA, and South Korea can get a tour group or business visa online and stay for 15 days, but the visa will only be valid for 30 days.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issues online visas to eligible visitors who meet the requirements. These online visas can be obtained online by submitting a completed application form. Online visas are single-entry visas. This visa is open to nationals from all European Union countries and most countries on the visa exempt list.
