Romania to China
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
Romanian citizens may stay in China without a visa for up to 30 days. Stays longer than 30 days require a visa.
China maintains an embassy or consulate in Romania, so visa applications and consular services can be handled from within Romania.
What should I do before I travel?
Check that your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned date of entry into China.
If you expect to stay longer than 30 days, you must obtain an appropriate visa before or during travel; the visa requirement applies for stays beyond 30 days.
It is recommended to have travel insurance, though insurance is not required for entry.
Complete any required arrival registration online before travel so you can finish registration again on arrival at the airport.
What happens at the border?
On arrival you will need to present your passport. Arrival registration must be completed online and again on arrival at the airport.
No vaccinations are mandatory for entry.
