Question 1

What is China's 30-day visa-free policy for medical visits?

Accepted Answer

China's 30-day unilateral visa-free policy allows nationals from over 50 countries to enter China without a visa for up to 30 days. During this period, visitors can access hospitals with international departments for consultations, check-ups, or follow-up care. The policy is separate from the 240-hour transit visa exemption.

Question 2

How does the 240-hour transit visa exemption work for hospital visits?

Accepted Answer

The 240-hour (10-day) transit visa exemption allows travelers with confirmed onward tickets to a third country to stay in designated regions for up to 10 days. Visitors must enter through specific ports and remain within the allowed region. Hospitals in these regions that offer international patient services can be found on MedTour China by selecting your entry region.

Question 3

Can international visitors see a doctor at Chinese hospitals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many Chinese hospitals, especially Tertiary-A (三甲) hospitals, have International Medical Departments that provide English-speaking staff, multilingual signage, international insurance coordination, and VIP wards. MedTour China lists over 1,540 hospitals across 24 regions, including JCI-accredited facilities.

Question 4

Which regions in China are covered by the 240-hour transit visa?

Accepted Answer

The 240-hour transit visa covers 24 provincial-level regions including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Tianjin, Hubei, Hunan, Fujian, Shaanxi, Chongqing, Yunnan, and more. Some regions allow full-province access while others are limited to specific cities.

Question 5

How reliable is the hospital information on MedTour China?

Accepted Answer

MedTour China collects hospital information directly from official hospital websites. Data includes hospital level (Tertiary-A accreditation), international department availability, contact details, specialties, and JCI accreditation status. Information was last verified in May 2026. Always confirm directly with the hospital before traveling.
