Digital card introduced for entry into China

Starting from November 20, 2025, a new procedure has been introduced for foreigners entering China. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

Now, it is possible to fill out entry cards in digital form for entering the country. This was announced by the “Aerotur” company.

The new digital system is aimed at simplifying the entry process for foreign citizens. Travelers can enter their personal information online via the s.nia.gov.cn website either before the flight or upon arrival in China.

Once the application is approved, a special QR code is generated. Showing this code during passport control will be sufficient.

At the same time, traditional paper entry cards will still be retained. Those who wish can fill out these cards manually at the airport.

However, the electronic form is mandatory for tourists, business travelers, visitors based on invitations, and those entering with or without a visa. Transit passengers and official government delegations are exempt from filling out the electronic card.

According to experts, the main advantage of the digital entry system is speed. The QR code is valid for 24 hours, so it does not need to be obtained in advance.

It can also be completed shortly before travel. This innovation creates convenience for travelers to China and speeds up the entry procedures.
