After reaching the border of the country, provide relevant materials and apply for visa materials on the spot. If the relevant materials are not provided in accordance with the policy, a visa may be issued and only the original aircraft or the original ship can be returned.

Starting from October 1, 2016, the visa-on-arrival policy for Chinese citizens is implemented at the capital Borispol Airport and Odessa Airport. Ukraine's above-mentioned airports can meet one of the five conditions (see the form below for details), and Chinese citizens who are for business and tourism purposes are issued a one-income visa with a validity period of 15 days and a maximum stay period of 15 days. The fee is 2550 hryvn ;

In addition, visa-on-arrival visa is easy to encounter queues at the airport (such as Thailand), and it often costs 1 or 2 hours (especially since the free visa fee is implemented). Therefore, if you can apply for a visa in advance, it is not recommended to arrive. Some countries also open their visas, and it is also very convenient.

Transit visa : It is a visa for the holder to travel to a third country through the country's border within the prescribed period. To obtain a transit visa, you must obtain a valid entry visa or license certificate from the destination country in advance (except for visa-free countries).

According to international practice, there are joint air tickets. People who do not leave the airport directly for a transit within 24 hours are generally exempt from visas, but some countries still require foreigners who transit their own country to apply for a transit visa.

For transit visa-free countries, border inspections at some airports in China may not be allowed, so they may not be able to leave the country without a visa. They need to verify the border inspection of the cities that are preparing to leave. It is best to prepare another relevant policy information before traveling. In addition, transit visas are also prone to local customs rejection (such as , Malaysia is often rejected). Therefore, it is also recommended to apply for a visa in advance.

(Note: The countries/regions listed below list do not include countries/regions that have implemented visa-free/arrival policies.)

However, according to feedback from some netizens after traveling, there are certain variables in the actual implementation of the regulations.

Airport tips:

Since KLIA2 was launched in 2014, all immigration, security checks and customs counters will be moved from LCCT to KLIA2. The policy of transit visa-free will continue to be used, and all relevant conditions will remain unchanged. The original KLIA has been corrected to KLIA 1 (some air tickets are marked as KLIA M).

Group tourism visa-free system : refers to purchasing group travel products or chartered flight products through a travel agency, and visa-free can be achieved through group entry and exit. Generally, when a team appears on the scene, you need to have a team visa, but visa-free means you don’t need to apply for any visa, including on-the-arrival visa, and you don’t have to pay the visa fee.

The visa-free countries listed below do not include visa-free travel with a tour (i.e., the tour cannot be free to travel with a tour); 2. Southeast Asian routes such as Thailand can apply for visas on arrival, but most of these routes depart from Hong Kong or Singapore ports, and relevant visas are required when entering the country, so there is no discussion.

Cruise visa-free means the implementation of a ship sightseeing landing license system, allowing foreign tourists on designated passenger ships to enter the port of call without visa-free for the purpose of sightseeing, but the foreign passenger must return to the passenger ship before the passenger ship left the port. Currently, Japan and South Korea routes open the visa-free cruise policy for Chinese citizens. Because there are fewer cruises currently staying in South Korea, here I will mainly talk about the visa-free cruises in Japan.

Japan: Common ports of entry are Fukuoka , Kagoshima , Nagasaki, Kobe, Okinawa, etc.

It should be noted that visa-free cruise ships do not mean free travel in the absolute sense. Taking Japan routes as an example, the visa-free policy is only for passengers who arrive at Japanese ports with the cruise ship, leave and leave the port on the port and leave the country on the entire journey. It is not applicable to the following situations:

passengers need to enter Japan on other means of transportation such as aircraft, and board the ship at Japanese ports;
passengers arrive at Japanese ports with the cruise ship, but need to leave the ship and leave Japan on other means of transportation;
passengers arrive at Japanese ports with the cruise ship, and during the appointment period of each port in Japan, they need to leave the ship at any of the ports and re-board at other ports, and leave the country on the ship. Any situation above

requires applying for a Japanese personal tourist visa in advance. Overall, in addition to the many restrictions, the cruise tour is also very short. If you want to really visit Japan and South Korea, it is recommended to apply for a visa in advance.

. Country/region view for visa-free with a US visa

As we all know, the value of a US visa is not just as simple as traveling to and from the United States many times in ten years. The other visa-free benefits it brings are even more exciting. For example, the famous Central American , which is difficult to apply for visas, can be a large number of countries with a US visa that can be visa-free or on-the-arrival visa; applying for visas from other developed countries can reduce the provision of many financial certificates, which is a very powerful bonus. Sometimes you must not accept the "American visa is to leave as you say it."

Note: When you only take a US visa to the country where you can get visa-free/arrival visa, some destinations will still encounter situations where China's border inspection will not be released. Therefore, please verify with the border inspection in the city that is preparing to leave before traveling.

US visa tips: Starting from November 2016, citizens of the People's Republic of China (except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) who hold a B1/B2 visa must apply for a two-year application in the Electronic Visa Update System (EVUS) system when traveling to the United States (if the biennial level has expired) or obtaining a new passport.

Some countries’ visa-free/visa-on-arrival policies cannot query accurate information on the China Consular Service Network, so they are not included. Please pay attention to the latest official policies before traveling. If you have any questions or visa experience, please share them in the comment area if there are any supplements.

In addition, many countries have introduced new visa policies such as simplified visa application conditions, extended visa validity period , etc. for China, such as the opening of the electronic visa in Argentina, the implementation of a 2-year validity visitor visa in the UK (and the fee does not increase), Ireland can apply for multiple round trips in 5 years, Japan can travel to Japan twice in the past three years to simplify the application for a 3-year visa, and the extension of the electronic visa for Malaysia (eNTRI) again, etc. Due to limited space, we will not explain it to friends in this article one by one.

However, I still hope to usher in more visa-free/on-arrival policies next year, so that the value of Chinese passports can gradually increase. After all, it is serious to bring benefits to white passports.
