China launches online arrival cards for foreigners
Updated 20 November 2025
Since 20 November 2025 foreigners can fill in the arrival card online before travelling — on the NIA website, the 12367 app or WeChat/Alipay mini-programs.
The National Immigration Administration lets foreign visitors submit their arrival card online before departure, instead of on paper at the border. Paper cards and on-site QR codes remain available. How to fill it in.
