  • This checks published lists, not permission to enter. Border inspection decides admission.
  • Entry window: through 2026-12-31. Departure arithmetic is separate from the entry window; confirm the admitted deadline at the border.
  • Unilateral source: https://cs.mfa.gov.cn/lh/lhqz_149493/cjwd/

How it works

The MFA FAQ defines the unilateral list, purposes and expiry groups. Entry must fall within the published window. The current-policy comparison covers dates from 17 February 2026; it does not reconstruct earlier country-by-country rules. Canada and the UK joined on that date.

Unilateral departure deadline = local entry date + 30 calendar days

Arrival is day zero. Use Chinese local dates; the calculated deadline is the end of day 30. Calendar arithmetic uses whole days with no rounding. An expiry limits the entry window; the output does not assume an extension or replace the deadline admitted by border inspection.

Bilateral agreements appear separately. Their durations, cumulative restrictions and purposes differ, so this checker does not calculate bilateral deadlines. In particular, three months is not converted to 90 days. The lists do not cover every possible transit, group or special-document exemption.

Worked examples

Canada: 14 November 2026 arrival

With an ordinary passport and tourism purpose, arrival on 2026-11-14 gives a unilateral deadline of 2026-12-14. Departure that day is 30 counted days after entry.

France: beyond the published window

Entry on 2027-01-01 is beyond the published 2026-12-31 entry window. No departure deadline is issued, even for a short planned visit.

Mauritius: a separate agreement

The bilateral reference gives 60 days for Mauritius. It is not processed as a unilateral 30-day visit.

Frequently asked questions

Are Canada and the UK included?
Yes. Their embassy notice covers entry from 2026-02-17 through 2026-12-31 for qualifying ordinary-passport visits.
Does the arrival day count toward the unilateral 30 days?
No. The MFA starts the calendar-day count the following day. The tool uses dates, not elapsed 24-hour blocks.
Does everyone have a 90-in-180 limit?
No. The unilateral FAQ states no current total-days restriction. Bilateral agreements can impose cumulative limits; use the agreement that applies to your passport.
Can I work or study under this waiver?
The unilateral waiver excludes work, study and news coverage. The MFA separately includes qualifying short study tours, sports competitions, conferences and exhibitions.
What happens after an expiry date?
The checker stops reporting a match for new unilateral entries. It does not predict renewal. Brunei has no announced expiry; Russia is listed through 2027-12-31.
Does not listed mean I definitely need a visa?
It means no nationwide ordinary-passport exemption was found in these lists. Regional, transit and other routes require separate checks.
