China visa regulations
30/01/2024 09:00

According to the latest communication on entry regulations, the 15-day visa waiver does not apply to productive activities in China. Specifically, a visa is still required from the first day of entry if the stay is "for work purposes". In this respect, we recommend applying for a visa - especially for assembly work, for example.

We will of course continue to keep you informed about current developments.

If you have any questions, the DVKG consular advisors will be happy to help you at any time.
