China has simplified entry rules for U.S. citizens visiting the country on tourist visas. Starting January 1, tourist visa applicants in the U.S. will no longer be required to submit proof of round-trip air tickets, hotel reservations, itinerary or invitation letter.
The Chinese ambassador to the U.S. wrote on X: “More good news for travelers to China: starting from January 1, 2024, our Embassy and Consulates-General in the U.S. will simplify application documents required for tourist visa.”
