China passport: visa-free countries & requirements
44 visa-free destinations · 69 visa on arrival, eVisa, or ETA
Worldwide counts use the full VisaGlance dataset. This page focuses on 60 tracked top destinations; self-country rows are omitted where relevant.
The Chinese passport allows visa-free entry to 41 destinations, reflecting expanding diplomatic relationships and regional partnerships. Access improves modestly with on-arrival visas and electronic authorizations, though most Western nations still require advance paperwork.
Visa results start from a historical January 2025 base matrix with limited, documented corrections. A mapped destination-level source provides context only; it does not independently verify a passport-destination result.
