China Visa Eligibility Checker
Select your nationality, entry city, stay length, and travel purpose. We match official NIA policies for visa-free entry, transit, and L visa requirements.
How to Use This Checker
- Choose the passport country you will travel on.
- Pick your first entry city or port in mainland China.
- Enter how many days you plan to stay (1–90).
- Select your main purpose — tourism, transit, business, or visiting family.
- If you are transiting, tick the third-country onward ticket box when it applies.
Results are guidance based on published NIA rules, not a visa decision. Always confirm with your Chinese embassy or consulate before you book non-refundable flights.

FAQ
Is this an official government tool?
No. TravelChinaTip is independent. We summarize publicly posted NIA and embassy rules so you can plan faster, then verify on official sites.
What if my nationality has more than one option?
The checker ranks the most traveler-friendly path first (visa-free or transit before a full L visa). Read the full result notes — stay length and routing still matter.
