  • This is a dated mutual-agreement list, not a complete list of visa-free destinations. Unilateral exemptions, visa on arrival and group-tour arrangements are excluded.
  • The MFA source table is updated through May 29, 2026; sources were checked November 14, 2026. Agreement inclusion is not a live admission check.
  • Cumulative limits, actual admission periods, passport validity, arrival forms, travel authorizations and onward-travel conditions still need checking. No cumulative days or last exit date are calculated.
  • Thailand: the displayed 30-day ceiling belongs to the bilateral agreement. Other unilateral routes may differ; this result does not assess them.
  • Malaysia’s agreement requires at least six months of passport validity. The cumulative ceiling is 90 days in any 180-day period.

How it works

We extracted the ordinary-passport agreements from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs table updated through May 29, 2026. “Passports for public affairs” are a different class and are not sufficient for inclusion. Group-tour-only agreements and visas on arrival are outside this list. The UAE result includes the April 2025 current-policy notice alongside its historical bilateral figure. San Marino results include Schengen access and local permit conditions.

The proposed whole-day stay is compared with the cited agreement’s single-stay ceiling. A match means only that this ceiling is not exceeded. Cumulative limits are shown separately and are not calculated. No day-count convention, exit date or permission to enter is inferred. There is no rounding.

The list retains Ecuador as a suspended agreement, rather than treating it as an available exemption. Treaty ceilings can differ from a destination’s unilateral visitor policy or the shorter period actually granted at the border. Follow the destination’s current official instructions for your route.

Worked examples

Singapore: 30 days versus 31 days

A 30-day tourist visit is within the bilateral single-stay ceiling. A 31-day visit exceeds it by 1 day. The ordinary-passport agreement took effect February 9, 2024.

Malaysia: a ceiling is not a remaining balance

A proposed 30-day stay meets the single-stay ceiling. The separate cumulative limit is 90 days in any 180 days, so prior visits still need checking. This tool does not subtract prior days.

Ecuador: a listed but suspended agreement

Even a proposed 1-day visit returns the suspension warning. A historical agreement entry is not evidence of a currently usable exemption.

Frequently asked questions

Is this every destination Chinese tourists can visit visa-free?
No. It covers the MFA mutual-agreement table only. Unilateral exemptions, conditional entry routes, visas on arrival and group-tour schemes are excluded.
Does 公务普通护照 mean ordinary passport?
No. It means a passport for public affairs. A country listed only for that class does not qualify for this ordinary-passport filter.
Why is Ecuador shown with a warning?
The MFA table explicitly says PRC ordinary-passport holders currently need a visa in advance for Ecuador. Its historical agreement effective date remains in the table.
Why does Thailand show 30 days?
That is the bilateral agreement ceiling, with 90 days cumulatively in 180 days. This checker does not assess any separate unilateral route or extension.
Is Mauritius limited to 30 days?
The embassy’s amendment notice extended the mutual-exemption stay from 30 to 60 days effective June 14, 2017. This list uses that amended ceiling.
Can a within-ceiling result guarantee admission?
No. Cumulative presence, passport validity, purpose, arrival formalities and the decision of border authorities still matter. Confirm transit-country requirements separately.
