Frequently Asked Questions

How early can I fill out the China Online Foreigner Arrival Card?▼

The National Immigration Administration (NIA) online system allows you to select an entry date up to 3 calendar months (approximately 90 days) in advance, or right up until you reach the border inspection hall.

Who is exempt from filling out the China Foreigner Arrival Card?▼

The NIA exempts 8 groups: (1) PRC Foreign Permanent Resident ID Card ('Five-Star Card') holders, (2) Non-Chinese Mainland Travel Permit for HK/Macao Residents holders, (3) Group Visa or Group Visa-Free tour members, (4) 24-hour direct airside transit passengers who do not leave the restricted port area, (5) cruise passengers staying on and departing with their original cruise ship, (6) Fast Track / E-Channel users, (7) international transport crew, and (8) courtesy delegations.

Do 24-hour, 72-hour, 144-hour, or 240-hour Visa-Free Transit (TWOV) travelers need to submit this form?▼

Yes! If you are applying for a temporary entry permit to leave the port restricted area under China's 24-hour, 72-hour, 144-hour, or 240-hour Visa-Free Transit policy, you MUST complete the online declaration (which replaces the paper Temporary Entry Foreigner Arrival Card) and provide your confirmed onward departure ticket details.

Does the China Online Arrival Card work at land borders (like Hong Kong–Shenzhen or West Kowloon High-Speed Rail) and seaports?▼

Yes. The NIA system covers all air, land, rail, and sea ports across Mainland China, including West Kowloon High-Speed Rail Station, Lo Wu/Luohu, Lok Ma Chau/Futian, Shenzhen Bay, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, and all international seaports.
