Chinese Passport Holders Can Now Travel Visa-Free to 50 Countries and Territories

As of August 2024

For visa-free travel, you must still have a valid passport.

Chinese passport holders now have visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 50 countries and territories, up from 45 countries in 2023. This is a significant increase in the number of countries that Chinese citizens can visit without a prior visa, and it is a testament to the growing strength of the Chinese passport.

The countries that Chinese passport holders can now visit without a visa include popular tourist destinations such as Thailand, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore. They can also visit many countries in Europe, such as France, Germany, and Italy. For a full list of visa-free countries and territories, please visit the website of the Chinese embassy or consulate in your country.

Even if you are traveling to a visa-free country, you must still have a valid passport. Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of your return. If you are planning to stay in a visa-free country for more than 30 days, you may need to apply for a visa extension.

The Chinese passport is becoming increasingly powerful, and it is now one of the most valuable passports in the world. This is good news for Chinese citizens, as it gives them more freedom to travel and explore the world.
