China First Day
Visa-Free And Entry Preparation Guide

Documents to save

Your phone may be tired, offline, or low on battery after landing. Save the documents that explain who you are, why you are entering, and where you will go next.

What to do

  1. 1

    Save passport photo page, visa or visa-free basis, onward ticket, hotel booking, and first-night address.

  2. 2

    Keep offline copies in a phone album or files app, not only inside email.

  3. 3

    Print key documents if your route or eligibility is complicated.

  4. 4

    Save a short English and Chinese note with your hotel name, address, and phone number.

Check before you rely on it

  • Names match across passport, tickets, and bookings.

  • Dates and flight or train numbers are readable offline.

  • A travel companion or emergency contact can access copies if your phone fails.
