FAQ

Planning a trip to China? This section provides helpful answers to frequently asked questions to make your journey smoother and more enjoyable.

QDoes China’s 30-day visa-free policy for Australians cover short study tours or summer camps? My kids are going for two weeks — do they still need a visa?
A No, they don’t. As long as the trip is for a study tour or camp under 30 days and they hold a valid ordinary passport, your kids can enter China visa-free!
QDoes China’s 30-day visa-free policy still apply if I fly from a third country? I’m a German citizen traveling from Thailand to China.
A Yes, it works! China’s unilateral visa-free policy DOES apply even if you are flying from a third country or region.
