China Visa Check

Writing about travel to China, selling tours, or welcoming students and guests? Put the answer to the question your readers ask first right next to your content: do I need a visa for China?

Your visitors choose their passport and see the answer at once: visa-free for up to 30 days, 240-hour visa-free transit, Hainan visa-free entry, or a visa needed, with the date the rules were last checked.

• Always up to date. The checker is run by China Visa Check, which checks the rules against official Chinese sources every day. When China changes the rules, your page follows on its own. No plugin update needed.
• 194 passports, 10 languages: English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, German, French and Arabic. It follows your site’s language unless you choose another.
• Fits your page: light, dark or matching the visitor’s device; it sets its own height, so there is no scroll bar.
• Free, no account, no ads, no cookies.

Three ways to add it:

• Block: add the “China Visa Check” block to any post or page and choose the language, the passport shown first and the colours in the sidebar.
• Widget: add “China Visa Check” to a sidebar or footer under Appearance > Widgets.
• Shortcode: [china_visa_check], with optional settings: [china_visa_check passport="jp" lang="ja" theme="light"].

China Visa Check is an independent guide, not a government service. Rules can change without notice; travellers should confirm with a Chinese embassy or consulate before they travel.

External services

This plugin shows a checker served by China Visa Check (chinavisacheck.com), the service that keeps the visa rules up to date. Nothing works without it.

• What it is used for: showing the visa checker in an iframe on the pages where you place the block, widget or shortcode.
• What is sent, and when: when a visitor views such a page, their browser loads the checker from https://chinavisacheck.com (as with any embedded content, this includes their IP address and browser details). The checker records the host name of the website it is shown on, to count where it is used. It sets no cookies and stores no personal data. The plugin itself sends nothing from your server.
• Terms of use and privacy: https://chinavisacheck.com/china-visa/about (sections “Free to use” and “Privacy”).
