Verify which entry requirements apply
Use official channels of China’s National Immigration Administration and Chinese diplomatic missions in Australia or New Zealand to check requirements against your own passport, purpose and itinerary. This guide does not assume anyone’s visa eligibility or list visa-free periods.
Visa applications and supporting documents
Check visa categories, application channels and required documents against the latest guidance from the Chinese diplomatic mission responsible for your area. Ask that official channel when unsure. General website guidance is neither an application checklist nor a promise of visa approval.
Medical documents, medicines and personal items
If carrying medical documents, personal medicines or devices, ask the receiving provider about records and use official diplomatic-mission guidance to find the appropriate entry verification channel. General travel information does not establish permission for a particular medicine or item.
Confirm information before making travel arrangements
Check official announcements again before departure. Recheck applicable requirements if your passport, purpose, dates or route change. Do not use this page to decide visa eligibility, fees or processing times. Official information takes precedence.
