近期，随着我国“免签朋友圈”扩容，吸引了大批外国游客前来“打卡”“China Travel（中国旅行）”相关话题热度持续升高。以下是符合单方面免签国家人员来华注意事项。

Recently, with the expansion of China's “visa-free friend circle,” a large number of foreign tourists have been attracted, and discussions about “China Travel” have gained significant popularity. Below are the details for nationals of countries eligible for this visa-free entry.

1.单方面免签对入境次数、累计停留天数暂无限制，但不得从事与入境事由不符的活动。 

Currently there is no restriction on the number of entries or total days of stay, but those who enjoy visa-free travel to China shall not engage in activities inconsistent with their purposes of entry.  

2.边检机关依法对拟持用符合单方面免签国家普通护照入境人员的来华目的进行检查询问，结合工作需要，查看邀请函件、机票酒店订单等证明材料，或与境内联系人联络核实，确系来华经商、旅游观光等人员，经查验准许方可入境;对来华事由与免签政策规定事由不符或具有其他法定不准入境情形的外国人，边防检查机关将依法作出不准入境决定；来华工作、学习、定居、采访报道等人员不属于该免签范围，需办妥有效中国签证办理入境边防检查手续。

Border inspection authorities will inspect and inquire about the purpose of entry for nationals intending to enter China using ordinary passports from countries eligible for unilateral visa-free entry. Based on work requirements, they may review supporting documents such as invitation letters, air tickets, accommodation reservations, or contact the individual's contacts in China for verification. Only those confirmed to be visiting China for business, tourism, or sightseeing purposes will be allowed to enter after inspection and approval. Border inspection authorities will deny entry to foreign nationals who are traveling for purposes that do not meet the visa-free entry requirements or who are not permitted to enter under Chinese laws and regulations. Nationals coming to China for work, study, residence, or journalistic purposes are not covered by this visa-free policy and must obtain a valid Chinese visa for entry.

3.符合单方面免签国家人员需持有效普通护照来华，入境后所持护照遗失，如补办的证件不属于普通护照，需到公安机关出入境管理部门办妥停留证件，并在停留证件的停留期限内出境。

Foreign nationals from countries eligible for unilateral visa-free entry must enter China with a valid ordinary passport. If their passport is lost after entry and the replacement document is not an ordinary passport, they must obtain a stay permit from the exit and entry administration of public security authorities in China and leave the country within the validity period of the stay permit.

4.符合单方面免签国家人员需持有效普通护照来华，护照有效期须满足在华旅行需要。持海员证、旅行证等普通护照以外证件的外国人不适用免签政策来华。
