Tourist visa requirements for visiting mainland China:

• Original passport with at least six months of remaining validity and 2 blank visa pages at least, and a photocopy of the passport's data page and the photo page if it is separate.
• One completed Visa Application Form with a recently-taken color passport photo (bare-head, full face) against a light background attached.
• Proof of legal stay or residence status (applicable to those not applying for the visa in their country of citizenship).
• Photocopy of previous Chinese passports or previous Chinese visas (applicable to foreign citizens who were Chinese citizens and have obtained foreign citizenship).
• Documents showing the itinerary including air ticket booking record (round trip) and proof of a hotel reservation, etc. or an invitation letter issued by a relevant entity or individual in China.

If you are a Hungarian passport holder, and your next destination is a third-party region out of mainland China (for example, Budapest-Beijing-Tokyo, Prague-Shanghai-Hong Kong), you can enjoy a 72-hour-visa-free transit in one of the following cities in China:

Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shenyang, Hangzhou, Xi'an, Tianjin, Wuhan, Nanjing, Dalian, Guilin, Kunming, Chongqing, Harbin, Xiamen, Qingdao, and Changsha.

If you travel from abroad via Shanghai to another region out of China, you can even enjoy 144-hour-visa-free convenience and stay in a much larger area including not only Shanghai, but also adjacent Jiangsu province and Zhejiang province. For now, this only applies to passengers arriving in Shanghai.

Please contact your airliner in advance to confirm they are aware of this arrangement. The Chinese side has informed all foreign airliners with service in China. But different air companies may have different implementation.

Hungarian citizens may visit Hong Kong for up to 90 days without a visa, but a visa is required for those to work, study, establish or join in any business or to take up residence.

The Embassy is closed on Chinese and Hungarian public holidays.
