The following conditions, if they apply to you, may impact your entry regardless of visa status.

If you have a past adverse record in any country/region (including overstaying, violations, etc.), it may impact your eligibility for visa-free entry, a visa, or even admission upon arrival. In such a case, we strongly advise consulting the nearest Chinese Embassy or Consulate before making travel plans.
