China has announced that ALL visa types for foreigners will be back to normal as of tomorrow, March 15, 2023. 

The announcement was made via the website of the Embassy of The People’s Republic of China in the United States and was later reported by major media outlets, including Reuters and CGTN. 

Here are five key things from the announcement you need to know: 

1. Valid Visas Issued Before March 28, 2020 Can Be Used to Enter China

Any visa which is still valid – regardless of whether it was issued before March 28, 2020 when China imposed restrictions due to COVID-19 – can be used to enter China. 

2. ALL Visa Types are Back to Normal

That includes L-type visas issued for the purpose of tourism. Be sure to check with your nearest Chinese embassy or consulate regarding the specific application requirements before making travel plans.

3. Port Visas are Back 

Expats residing in Hong Kong may be familiar with the visa-on-arrival issued at Luohu Port for the purpose of visiting Shenzhen. 

Prior to COVID-19, other locations in China which offered port visas (visas-on-arrival) included the following: 

Beijing

Port visas tend to be valid for stays of anywhere between 48 and 144 hours. Only certain nationalities may be eligible for a port visa. Be sure to check specific requirements before making any travel plans. 

4. Resumption of Visa-Free Travel 

Visa-free travel for the following types of arrivals will resume: 

Tourists visiting Hainan Island

Those entering Shanghai via cruise ship

Foreigners residing in Hong Kong or Macao Special Administrative Regions who travel to the Chinese mainland in a tour group

Those in ASEAN tour groups who visit Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region 

Again, be sure to check if you're elligible for visa-free travel and any specific requirements before making travel plans.
