Destination & Booking Info

Visa & Entry

Most travellers need a visa to visit China, but several visa-free pathways apply. As of March 2026, nationals of 50 countries (including the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and South Korea) can enter visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism, business or family visits; for most eligible countries the waiver is valid until Dec 31, 2026. US passport holders are not on this list and still need a visa, unless they qualify for transit-without-visa or a regional policy.

If you are transiting through China to a third country, the 240-hour (10-day) visa-free transit policy covers 55 countries at 65 ports across 24 provinces, and Nanjing is among the eligible transit cities. There is also a 24-hour visa-free transit option for passengers who do not leave the port of entry. You need a valid ordinary passport with remaining validity at least as long as your intended stay (temporary and emergency passports are not accepted), and round-trip tickets, accommodation reservations and an itinerary are recommended.

All foreign nationals arriving by air, land or sea must submit the China Digital Arrival Card (CDAC) online before border control, even when they qualify for visa-free entry; the form can be completed up to 72 hours before arrival.
