Country question
Which countries can currently enter China visa-free?
Using the National Immigration Administration public country list dated February 17, 2026, the unilateral 30-day visa-free policy modeled on this site covers 50 countries in total: 35 in Europe, 7 in Asia, 6 in the Americas, and 2 in Oceania.
What this answer includes
The official list used on this page covers ordinary passport holders traveling for business, tourism, visits to relatives and friends, exchange visits, or transit, for stays of up to 30 days. The official public note used here says the stay is calculated from 00:00 on the day after entry.
What this answer does not include
A country being absent from this unilateral list does not automatically mean there is no visa-free path at all. Travelers may still need to check the 240-hour transit rule, a mutual exemption, or another route not modeled in this first release.
Asia
The current public list includes 7 Asian countries, including Japan, Republic of Korea, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, and Brunei Darussalam.
Americas and Oceania
The current public list includes Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Australia, and New Zealand across those two regions.

US citizens answer
Useful because the United States is not on this unilateral list but is on the current transit list.
10-day transit answer
Helpful when the traveler really means transit without visa rather than the direct-entry country list.
