相关注意事项

Notice

　　1. 不得超出停留区域范围和时限

　　Don’t exceed the stay area and stay duration.

　　240小时过境免签外国人的停留期从入境次日零时起计算。以旅客2025年1月1日从广州白云机场入境中国为例，停留期从2025年1月2日零时起算，最多可在免签停留区域内停留10天，1月11日24时之前从国务院批准同意的240小时过境免签政策适用口岸出境即可。The stay period begins at 0:00 on the next day of entry. For instance, if a passenger arrives in China from Guangzhou Baiyun Airport on January 1, 2025, the stay period is counted from 00:00 on January 2, 2025, and he can stay for a maximum of 10 days. When departing from China, he can exit via any port applicable to the  240-hour visa-free transit policy approved by The State Council before 24:00 on January 11.

　　如果遇不可抗力等原因需在免签停留区域停留超过240小时的，应当向所在地县级以上公安机关入出境管理部门申请办理相应的停居留证件。如擅自超出限制停留区域或未经许可逾期停留，将承担相应法律责任，按非法居留处罚，并影响本人今后来华签证等入出境证件申请。

　　If it is necessary to stay in the visa-free stay area for more than 240 hours due to force majeure or for any other urgent reasons, passengers shall apply to the Exit and Entry Administration department of the local public security organ at or above the county level for the corresponding stay and residence permit. If passengers go beyond the restricted area or overstay without permission, they shall bear the corresponding legal responsibility and be punished for illegal residence, and the future applications for entry and exit documents such as Chinese visas may be affected.

　　2. 要依法办理住宿登记

　　Complete accommodation registration legally.

　　240小时过境免签外国人在旅馆住宿的，由旅馆为其办理住宿登记；在旅馆以外的其他住所居住或者住宿的，应当在入住后24小时内由本人或者留宿人，向居住地的公安机关派出所或者外国人服务站等办理登记。

　　When a foreigner of 240-hour visa-free transit lives in a hotel, the hotel shall complete the accommodation registration; anyone who lives in a dwelling other than a hotel shall take accommodation registration at local police station of the public security organ or a service station for foreigners within 24 hours after check-in.
