China Visa Application and Requirements

If you’re planning a trip to China, one of the first things you’ll need to take care of is the China visa application. From choosing the right visa type to knowing when and where to apply, having clear and updated information makes the process much smoother.

This guide covers everything you need to know about China visa requirements, including recent updates for 2025—like the 30 days China visa-free countries list and the expanded 240-hour (10-day) visa-free transit policy, which now allows more travelers to visit China without needing a visa for short stays.

If you're traveling to Tibet, you'll also find guidance on how to get a Tibet Travel Permit, especially if you're entering from Nepal. And as a local Chinese travel agency, we’re here to help—if you need a visa and book a tour with us, we’ll gladly provide the official invitation letter to support your application.
