Entry rules depend on nationality, travel purpose, travel route, and the dates of travel. Patients and accompanying family members should check the latest information with the relevant Chinese embassy or consulate before making non-refundable bookings.
Keep a copy of your passport, appointment information, hospital invitation materials where applicable, accommodation details, and return or onward travel arrangements. Requirements can change, so use official sources for the final decision.
If you need help planning your arrival around an appointment, China Health Travel can help coordinate the practical information needed for a smoother journey.
