Chinese ordinary passport holders are listed under a bilateral visa-exemption arrangement for stays of up to 30 days per visit. This is separate from the general 60-country tourism-exemption list.
Before you travel
- Use the exemption only for an eligible short visit; other purposes require the appropriate visa.
- Complete TDAC through the official Immigration Bureau website within three days before arrival.
- Carry evidence of onward travel and sufficient funds.
- Check the permission stamped by immigration; final admission is always decided at the border.
Do not submit passport numbers or personal identity details to this checker.
