The entry rule in brief
- Filipino passport holders need a visa to enter China as tourists. We found no visa-free entry for Filipinos, even though China has opened visa-free entry for many other countries.
- Since January 2024 the Chinese Embassy in Manila no longer takes applications from ordinary passport holders directly. You apply through the Chinese Visa Application Service Center in Manila.
- Your passport should be valid for at least six months after your trip and have blank pages.
- The documents depend on your visa type and whether you have applied before. The list for your trip comes with your quotation.
Entry rules as of October 2026, from public news and embassy statements. They change, so confirm with the Chinese Embassy or the visa centre before you pay for flights.
