Test the immediate route

Enter the place immediately before mainland China and the first country or region after it.

Is your passport issued by one of the 55 eligible countries?
Will your passport have at least three months of validity on entry?
Do you have confirmed onward travel leaving mainland China within 240 hours?

The checker covers the core route pattern. Before relying on the result, match the real mainland immigration inspection point to the current eligible-port list and keep every domestic stop inside the permitted area for that entry.

Check a railway, ferry, bridge, highway, or seaport entry →
Check domestic flights, trains, city changes, and the exit point →

If the itinerary changes

A cancellation, new port, domestic stop, or replacement destination can change the route result. Save the original and replacement itinerary, then retest the route before accepting it.
