To further facilitate cross-border travel and China's high-quality development and high-standard opening up, China has decided to apply unilateral visa-free policy to more countries on a trial basis, which involves extending visa-free treatment to travelers holding ordinary passports from six countries, namely Ireland, Switzerland, Hungary, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg. 

From March 14 to November 30,2024, citizens from the above-mentioned countries holding ordinary passports can be exempted from visa to enter China and stay for no more than 15 days for business, tourism, family visit and transit purposes.

Individuals who do not meet the visa-free conditions mentioned above still need to apply for a visa before entering China.
