From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Administrative entry restrictions
This article is about visa requirements for mainland Chinese residents holding Chinese passports. For other uses, seeVisa requirements for Chinese citizens (disambiguation).

An ordinaryChinese passport

Visa requirements for Chinese citizens are administrative entry restrictions imposed on citizens ofChina who holdMainland passport by the authorities of other states.

As of 2025,Chinese citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 85 countries and territories, ranking theChinese Passport 58th in the world according to theHenley Passport Index.[1]

Historical perspective

[edit]

Before February 2014, Chinese immigration authorities did not generally allow mainland Chinese citizens to board cruise ships, flights, or go through land border crossings to other countries without having a valid visa for the destination country. This policy applied even if the destination country did not require a visa, or granted a visa on arrival to Chinese passport holders, unless the exit was approved by theMinistry of Public Security.

Exceptions were possible if the traveller had a third country's visa and a connecting flight from the initial destination country to the third country. As of 10 June 2017,[update] if the destination is a visa-on-arrival or e-visa issuing country this approval is no longer needed.[citation needed]

Other Territories

Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan

[edit]

Hong Kong and Macau SARs

[edit]
  • Rather than passports, Chinese citizens from mainland China are required to travel to Hong Kong and Macau with an in-lieu travel document namedExit-Entry Permit for Travelling to and from Hong Kong and Macau (EEP-HKMO) to align with the position that Hong Kong and Macau are Chinese territories rather than foreign. EEP holders must apply for an endorsement which serves as both the exit permission from mainland China and the de facto visa for Hong Kong or Macau. EEP holders without an endorsement shall be prohibited from departing from mainland China. It is theImmigration in mainland China rather than that in Hong Kong and Macau that is responsible for issuing endorsements.[263]
  • Chinese passport holders intending to transit via Hong Kong or Macao between mainland China and a foreign third place may travel directly with their Chinese passport without applying for EEP and an endorsement. They are eligible for stay up to 7 days without a (de facto) visa.[263]
  • Chinese passport holders residing abroad on a long-term basis may apply for asticker-style HKSAR entry permit [zh] at Chinese missions abroad. The sticker shall allow up to (1) two entries within three months, 30 days stay for each entry; or (2) multiple entries within two years, 14 days stay for each entry.[264] There is no similar sticker for Macao. Instead, they can enter Macao for 7 days (extendable to 90 days) if they possess a document showing that they reside abroad on a long-term basis.[265]

Taiwan

[edit]

Taiwan and mainland China have been under separated governance since 1949, respectively ruled by theGovernment of the Republic of China and theGovernment of the People's Republic of China due to theChinese Civil War. Even though neither party regards the people of the other as foreigner, movement of people between mainland China and Taiwan is subject to immigration restrictions impose by both parties, either for immigrants or visitors. Chinese Mainlanders are subject toTaiwan immigration requirements, and are also subject toMainland exit permission requirements if they are boarding a ferry or flight directly heading to Taiwan departing from the Mainland.

Exit-related restrictions include:

  • Rather than Chinese passports, Chinese Government requires Mainlanders to travel to Taiwan with an in-lieu travel document namedExit-Entry Permit for Travelling to and from Taiwan (EEP-TW) to align with its sovereignty claim over Taiwan.
  • EEP-TW holders requires an endorsement (exit permission) or they will be refused exit from mainland China.
  • Chinese passport holders intending to transit via Taiwan between mainland China and a foreign third place but without an endorsed EEP-TW are usually refused exit, unless they depart from Taiwan Transit Pilot Program cities: Chongqing, Nanchang, and Kunming.[266]

Entry-related restrictions include:

  • Chinese Mainlanders needExit & Entry Permit for Taiwan, Republic of China (hereinafter the "Permit") issued by Taiwan Immigration or they will be refused entry. The Permit, when produced, shall be accompanied by a mainland China travel document, either the Chinese passport or EEP-TW, as the case may be.
  • For Mainlanders residing in the Mainland and applying for the Permit for the purpose of tourism, it's the policy of Taiwan Immigration that the Permit shall not be issued without a valid exit-permission issued by mainland China Immigration.[267] As the Mainland Immigration suspended issuance of such exit-permission since 2019, and the Taiwan Immigration suspended the issuance of the Permit accordingly, Mainlanders residing in Mainland may not travel to Taiwan for the tourism purpose for now.
  • Chinese passport holders residing in Hong Kong, Macau or a foreign place on a long-term basis may apply directly to the Taiwan Immigration for aPermit. They do not need an EEP-TW or an endorcement (exit permission) to apply for the Permit, and may travel to Taiwan directly from a place other than mainland China.
Travel with in-lieu travel documentsTravel withChinese passport from mainland ChinaTravel withChinese passport from overseas
  • EEP-TW (in-lieu travel document) required, endorcement (exit permission) required.
  • Issuance of endorcement (exit permission) for tourism purpose for mainland Chinese residents residing in mainland China remains suspended.
  • Exit & Entry Permit Taiwan required except for airside transit.[21]
  • Exit from China usually refused except for transit through Taiwan departing from certain cities.
  • EEP-TW and endorcement (exit permission) not required if transiting via Taiwan between mainland China and a foreign third place, and departing from the Mainland cities ofChongqing,Kunming orNanchang.
  • Exit & Entry Permit is not required when transiting through sterile area of aTaiwanese airport on the same calendar day.
  • For tourists residing overseas (including Hong Kong and Macau) since September 1, 2023, and medical, business and student purpose permit issuance has been resumed earlier.

A sample of the personal info page of the Entry and Exit Permit for Border Tourism

In addition to passports, Exit and Entry Permit were issued to citizens of the People's Republic of China for visiting certain land neighboring countries for trade, tourism purposes without a passport, and visa to the country of visiting and vice versa under the bilateral agreements.[270]
Such permit is issued by the police stations in the related border administrative divisions. By far, travelers from the administrative divisions that share borders withNorth Korea,Mongolia,Myanmar,Laos,Vietnam,India andNepal could apply for the Exit-Entry Permit for crossing borders.[271]

Non-visa restrictions

[edit]
This section istranscluded fromNon-visa travel restrictions.(edit |history)

Blank passport pages

[edit]

Many countries require a minimum number of blank pages to be available in the passport being presented, typically one or two pages.[272] Endorsement pages, which often appear after the visa pages, are not counted as being valid or available.

Vaccination

[edit]
Main articles:Vaccination requirements for international travel,International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, andVaccine passports during the COVID-19 pandemic
Cover of the new International Certificate of Vaccination issued by the Bureau of Quarantine in the Philippines since 2021

The African countries ofAngola,Benin,Burkina Faso,Burundi,Cameroon,Central African Republic,Chad,Democratic Republic of the Congo,Republic of the Congo,Côte d'Ivoire,Equatorial Guinea,Gabon,Gambia,Ghana,Guinea-Bissau,Kenya,Liberia,Mali,Mauritania,Niger,Rwanda,Senegal,Sierra Leone andTogo,South Sudan,Uganda, andZambia, requireall incoming passengers older than nine months to one year[273] to have a currentInternational Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, as does the South American territory ofFrench Guiana.[274]

Some other countries require vaccination only if the passenger is coming from an infected area or has visited one recently or has transited for 12 hours in those countries: Algeria, Botswana, Cabo Verde, Chad, Djibouti, Egypt, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Lesotho, Libya, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea,Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Seychelles, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Tunisia, Uganda, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.[275][276]

Passport validity length

[edit]

Very few countries, such as Paraguay, just require a valid passport on arrival.

However many countries and groupings now require only an identity card – especially from their neighbours. Other countries may have special bilateral arrangements that depart from the generality of their passport validity length policies to shorten the period of passport validity required for each other's citizens[277][278] or even accept passports that have already expired (butnot been cancelled).[279]

Some countries, such as Japan,[280] Ireland and the United Kingdom,[281] require a passport valid throughout the period of the intended stay.

In the absence of specific bilateral agreements, countries requiring passports to be valid for at least 6 more months on arrival include Afghanistan, Algeria, Anguilla, Bahrain,[282] Bhutan, Botswana,British Virgin Islands, Brunei, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Cayman Islands, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Costa Rica, Côte d'Ivoire, Curaçao, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Fiji, Gabon, Guinea Bissau, Guyana, Haiti, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel,[283] Jordan, Kenya, Kiribati, Kuwait, Laos, Madagascar, Malaysia, Marshall Islands, Mongolia, Myanmar, Namibia, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Oman, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Peru,[284] Philippines,[285] Qatar, Rwanda, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Suriname, Tanzania, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Tokelau, Tonga, Turkey, Tuvalu, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, Vanuatu, Venezuela, and Vietnam.[286]

Countries requiring passports valid for at least 4 months on arrival include Micronesia and Zambia.

Countries requiring passports with a validity of at least 3 months beyond the date of intended departure include Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Honduras, Montenegro, Nauru, Moldova and New Zealand.Similarly, theEEA countries of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, allEuropean Union countries (except Ireland) together with Switzerland also require 3 months validity beyond the date of the bearer's intended departure unless the bearer is an EEA or Swiss national.

Countries requiring passports valid for at least 3 months on arrival include Albania, North Macedonia, Panama, and Senegal.

Bermuda requires passports to be valid for at least 45 days upon entry.

Countries that require a passport validity of at least one month beyond the date of intended departure include Eritrea, Hong Kong, Lebanon, Macau, the Maldives[287] and South Africa.

Maximum passport age

[edit]

Countries of theSchengen area require non-EU passports to be less than 10 years old upon entry.[288] A number of holders of British passports, which until September 2018 could be issued with a validity period of up to 10 years and nine months if the previous passport was not expired, were unable to travel to the EU subsequent toBrexit due to this restriction.[289]

Criminal record

[edit]

Some countries, including Australia, Canada, Fiji, New Zealand and the United States,[290] routinely deny entry to non-citizens who have acriminal record, while others impose restrictionsdepending on the type of conviction and the length of the sentence.

Persona non grata

[edit]

The government of a country can declare a diplomatpersona non grata, banning them from entering the country or expelling them if they have already entered. In non-diplomatic use, the authorities of a country may also declare a foreignerpersona non grata permanently or temporarily, usually because of unlawful activity.[291]

Israeli stamps

[edit]

Kuwait,[292] Lebanon,[293] Libya,[294] and Yemen[295] do not allow entry to people withpassport stamps from Israel or whose passports have either a used or an unused Israeli visa, or where there is evidence of previous travel to Israel such as entry or exit stamps from neighbouring border posts in transit countries such as Jordan and Egypt.

To circumvent thisArab League boycott of Israel, the Israeli immigration services have now mostly ceased to stamp foreign nationals' passports on either entry to or exit from Israel (unless the entry is for some work-related purposes). Since 15 January 2013, Israel no longer stamps foreign passports atBen Gurion Airport. Passports are still (as of 22 June 2017[update]) stamped atErez when passing into and out ofGaza.[citation needed]

Iran refuses admission to holders of passports containing an Israeli visa or stamp that is less than 12 months old.

Biometrics

[edit]
See also:Biometric identification by country

Several countries mandate that all travellers, or all foreign travellers, befingerprinted on arrival and will refuse admission to or even arrest travellers who refuse to comply. In some countries, such as the United States, this may apply even to transit passengers who merely wish to change planes rather than golandside.[296]

Fingerprinting countries/regions include Afghanistan,[297][298] Argentina,[299] Brunei, Cambodia,[300] China,[301] Ethiopia,[302] Ghana, Guinea,[303] India, Japan,[304][305] Kenya (both fingerprints and a photo are taken),[306] Malaysia upon entry and departure,[307] Mongolia, Saudi Arabia,[308] Singapore, South Korea,[309] Taiwan, Thailand,[310] Uganda,[311] the United Arab Emirates and the United States.

Many countries also require a photo be taken of people entering the country. The United States, which does not fully implementexit control formalities at its land frontiers (although long mandated by its own legislation),[312][313][314] intends to implementfacial recognition for passengers departing from international airports to identify people who overstay their visa.[315]

Together with fingerprint and face recognition,iris scanning is one of three biometric identification technologies internationally standardised since 2006 by theInternational Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for use ine-passports[316] and the United Arab Emirates conducts iris scanning on visitors who need to apply for a visa.[317][318] The United StatesDepartment of Homeland Security has announced plans to greatly increase the biometric data it collects at US borders.[319] In 2018, Singapore began trials of iris scanning at three land and maritime immigration checkpoints.[320][321]

Air New Zealand, which flies daily from Heathrow via Los Angeles to Auckland, says there are currently "strict requirements for travellers" in transit at LAX. Through passengers to Auckland on flight NZ1 or Heathrow on NZ2 must apply in advance for an ESTA (online visa) even though they have no intention of staying in the US.

Retrieved25 April 2019.While a requirement for a biometric entry-exit system has been in law for over a decade, it is not yet a reality. Many reasons for the long gestating development have been documented in BPC's 2014 report Entry-Exit System: Progress, Challenges, and Outlook, including the technological, operational, and cost challenges of creating exit systems and infrastructure where none exist today. However, many critics, especially in Congress, simply accused the Department of Homeland security of dragging its feet... the major operational, logistical, and technical challenge in implementing exit capability at our ports has been the land borders. Unlike airports and seaports, the land border environment is not physically controlled, there is no means to get advance information on who is arriving, and the sheer volume of travel—both vehicular and pedestrian—creates challenges in any system to not further exacerbate delays. While biometric exit for land vehicular traffic is still in the "what if" stage, CBP is moving ahead and piloting systems and technology to use with the large population of pedestrian crossers at the U.S.-Mexico border.
