Visa Requirements for Chinese Passports
Chinese passport holders see visa-free entry to a modest share of this list, concentrated mostly in nearby Asian destinations and a handful of countries in the Americas. Europe remains largely closed without a visa, with only a small number of exceptions, while eVisa and visa on arrival options fill in a lot of the gaps elsewhere, especially across Africa. China's numbers land in the middle of this group, well ahead of Vietnam, India, or Bangladesh but still a long way from the near-universal European access that Western and Gulf passports get.

This page covers requirements for short-stay tourist and visitor travel only. Business trips, work assignments, study programs, and immigration all follow separate application processes with their own documentation, so check with the relevant embassy or consulate before traveling for any of those purposes.
