Short-term trips to China, temporary business visits, small gatherings of friends and family... For foreigners who need a short-term emergency to come to China, 144 hours transit visa exemption is the first choice!


Q: Hello, our company wants to urgently invite foreign customers to China for business negotiations. What are the requirements for foreigners to apply for 144-hour transit visa-free procedures?


A: Hello. Foreigners applying for 144-hour transit visa exemption should meet the following three conditions:

The first is to belong to the 144-hour transit visa-free range of citizens (see the list of detailed countries below);


The second is to hold a valid international travel document (valid for not less than 3 months) that can prove their nationality and identity, and meet the entry conditions for a third country or region;


Third, it is necessary to hold a connecting ticket or relevant certificate for a third country or region with a confirmed date and seat within 144 hours, fill in the temporary entry foreigner entry card, and accept the inquiry of exit and entry border inspection authorities.


If foreigners meet the above conditions, they can apply to the border inspection authorities of 28 ports in 20 cities in China for 144-hour transit visa exemption, and other ports have not implemented this policy.

Warm reminder


For those with passports or other international travel documents that are valid for less than 3 months, or those with visa stamps refused by Chinese visa authorities, or those with illegal entry and exit, illegal residence, illegal employment records within 5 years, the border inspection authorities will not issue temporary entry permits, so such personnel cannot handle 144-hour transit visa-free.
