Before you book
Entry, visas and travel documents
We check how your nationality, route and onward travel affect entry planning, then give you a document checklist and the current official links to verify before departure.
Start with your passport
Check validity, blank pages, destination-specific visa rules and whether every traveller, including children, needs separate documents.
240-hour visa-free transit
Eligible nationals may use China’s 240-hour visa-free transit policy for a stay of up to 10 days when travelling onward to a third country or region through designated ports and within permitted areas. This is separate from the more limited 24-hour transit policy.
Before departure
Keep confirmed transport, accommodation details, insurance and emergency contacts together in print and on your phone.
