Policy Watch · Verified changes only

China entry policy, when it changes.

Every entry below is a verified change: what changed, when it takes effect, the official source, and the date we verified it. No change is listed without a source. This page explains policy; it is not immigration advice, and entry is always at the discretion of the border officer.

How accuracy works here. One source of truth: data/policy-updates.json. Every entry carries its source and verification date. Entries past their review date without re-verification are marked for review, not left standing. Corrections: raise them on the forum and they get re-checked against the official source.

Up next: the year-end renewal

The 30-day unilateral list largely runs to 2026-12-31. We re-check it on 2026-12-20, before expiry, and update this page and the visa checker from the same data file. Do not book post-2026 travel on the current list without re-checking.
