Know whether your route works before you book.
China's visa-free rules depend on your nationality, route, travel dates and even the city where you enter. Send us the itinerary you're considering, and we'll check it against the current official requirements.
A Route Review is useful when…
You're using a route-dependent policy
For the 240-hour transit, your connecting countries, eligible ports and onward travel all affect whether you qualify.
You're choosing between flights
Check the route you're considering before you pay for a non-refundable ticket.
You want a final independent check

Before you ask.
Is this a visa?
No. It's a review of whether your proposed trip qualifies for visa-free entry or transit. If it doesn't — or if it looks like you need a visa — we'll tell you clearly before you rely on the wrong policy.
Can you guarantee entry?
No legitimate service can. The officer at the port of entry makes the final decision. Our role is to check your trip against the published requirements, flag any problems, and help you arrive prepared.
Do I need to book my flights first?
No. Send a proposed itinerary or the options you're considering, and check the route before you buy a non-refundable ticket.
What information do you need?
Your passport nationality, planned entry and exit dates, your full route into and out of mainland China, any layovers, and the cities you plan to visit. Do not upload photos of your actual passport, and do not share your passport number with us — we don't need it to make this check.
What happens if my route doesn't qualify?
We explain the specific issue and, where possible, show you how the itinerary could be changed to meet an available visa-free policy.
