240-hour visa-free transit pre-checker

This tool is intentionally conservative. It checks the public core conditions, then shows what to verify before booking.

Quick answer

Use this if your route is a real transit through mainland China to a third country or region. The tool does not approve entry; it helps you avoid obvious mistakes.

Not official: final decisions are made by immigration inspection authorities and your carrier may also check documents before boarding.

FAQ

Is this a legal decision?

No. It is a cautious pre-check for planning. Final decisions are made by immigration inspection authorities.

Why do you ask for origin and next destination?

Because 240-hour visa-free transit is for transit to a third country or region, not a simple mainland China round trip.

Can I use this checker for 30-day unilateral visa-free entry?

No. Use the 30-day visa-free country checker instead.
