China expanded visa policy significantly in 2024-2025 — 30-day visa-free entry for ~38 western passports (US, UK, EU, Canada, Japan, Australia/NZ via separate program), plus 240-hour (10-day) visa-free transit at major airports. No formal nomad visa exists — Z visa or work permit required for any genuine long-term stay. Visa runs from Hong Kong / Macau remain the long-stay workaround for those without sponsored work.
