What China First Day cannot confirm
We can help you prepare your documents and know what questions to ask, but the final call on entry belongs to border authorities. We're a prep tool, not an immigration office.
What to do
- 1
Use this guide as a preparation checklist, not as a green light for entry.
- 2
If your route involves multiple countries, separate tickets, or unusual timing — ask the official source directly.
- 3
Have a backup plan: rebooking options, flexible hotel, or the ability to apply for a visa if needed.
- 4
Don't wait until you're at the airport counter to confirm for the first time.
Double-check before you rely on this
You know exactly who to contact for your specific situation (embassy, immigration hotline, airline).
You have a backup route if your planned entry method doesn't work out.
Your travel insurance and booking flexibility match the risk level of your itinerary.
