The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China announced at a regular press conference on 28 August 2023 that, starting from 30 August 2023, international travelers are no longer required to undergo COVID-19 testing before entering China.
This is a further step since the requirement for pre-boarding nucleic acid testing was replaced by the self-administered COVID-19 rapid test (antigen test) on 29 April 2023.
Following this announcement, embassies and consulates in a number of countries have issued their latest policies on traveling to China accordingly. Passengers are no longer required to confirm a testing result on their entry declaration.
With the recent progress of the Chinese government’s measures to facilitate international travel, we are seeing an increase in the workload at Chinese embassies and consulates and recommend that you plan your visa process for travel to China well in advance.
