Visa Requirements for U.S. Passport Holders Visiting China
As of 2025, American citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to mainland China, with limited exceptions:
Tourist/Business Visas: Required for most visits. Apply at Chinese consulates with documents like passport, photo, itinerary, and sometimes proof of accommodation/funds.
Visa-Free Transit: Some cities (e.g., Beijing, Shanghai) allow 72/144-hour visa-free transit if you have an onward ticket to a third country.
Hainan Island: 30-day visa-free entry for groups (pre-arranged through travel agencies).
Key Notes:
Hong Kong/Macau: No visa needed for stays up to 90 days (separate entry rules).
Validity: Tourist visas typically allow 30–90 days per entry, with single/multiple options.
COVID-19 policies may change entry rules; check updates before travel.
Process: Apply via Chinese embassies/consulates or authorized agencies. Processing takes ~4–5 business days (expedited options available). Fees vary by visa type.
Tip: Always verify requirements through official sources like the Chinese Embassy or your airline.
