Updated Travel Advice – 1 July 2024

We continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution in China. As previously advised, authorities have detained foreigners on the grounds of 'endangering national security'. Australians may be at risk of arbitrary detention or harsh enforcement of local laws, including broadly defined National Security Laws.

You may now be eligible to enter China for no more than 15 days without a visa (see the 'Travel' section of the Smartraveller China travel advice).

Travel advice:

Exercise a high degree of caution in China overall.
