Official policy notes官方政策说明
Citizens of Czechia transiting China to a third country or region qualify for the 240-hour visa-free transit policy: enter via designated ports across 24 provinces and stay up to 240 hours within the permitted areas. They may also enter Hainan visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism, business, visits, family, medical care, MICE, or sports (work and study excluded). A visa is still required for the rest of China.
Visa and transit rules are set by China's National Immigration Administration and may change; the final call at the border always rests with border inspection officers. Our consultants re-verify your case before any booking is confirmed.
