About China Entry Check
China's entry rules changed more in the last two years than in the previous twenty. Most English-language pages lag behind, because the first announcements appear in Chinese on government websites.
We read the original notices from China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Immigration Administration and Chinese embassies, and turn them into plain-English answers for your passport and route. Every result links to its official source.
