Whether you are a first-time traveler or have visited China before, it’s important to stay informed about the latest visa to China options available.
China’s visa-free transit policy
As of 2025, China has expanded its 240-hour visa-free transit policy, making it easier for travelers to explore the country during a stopover or as part of a broader journey. This policy allows citizens from eligible countries to stay in specific regions of China for up to 10 days without the need to apply for a traditional visa.
To learn more about the visa-free transit policy and how to take advantage of it, visit our guide to China transit visas.
