It depends on your nationality. As of 2025–2026, China has expanded its visa-free entry program to travelers from a growing number of countries — many for stays of up to 30 days for tourism, business, family visits, or transit purposes. The policy is valid through December 31, 2026, with a maximum stay of 30 days per visit.
If your country is eligible for visa-free entry, you’ll typically need:
- A valid passport (at least 6 months before expiry, 2 blank pages recommended)
- Proof of onward/return travel
- Accommodation confirmations
- Travel insurance (recommended)
If your country is not on the visa-free list, you’ll need to apply for a standard Chinese tourist visa (L visa) before travel. Upon booking, YellowBird Tour provides official itinerary confirmations, hotel bookings, and invitation letters — all required for your visa application at a Chinese embassy or consulate.
📌 Visa policies change frequently. Always verify your specific eligibility before booking.
