China’s 30-day visa-free regime for ordinary passports (including Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, UAE, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan) expires on December 31, 2026, which may lead to changes in 2027. There is also a 240-hour visa-free transit for 57 countries, which Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam joined on August 20, 2026. A trip to Hong Kong or Macau and back to mainland China resets the 30-day visa-free period, but frequent re-entries may raise questions from officers.2026-10-14
