The China Arrival Card is an online registration form that helps streamline entry procedures for international visitors traveling to China. Depending on nationality and visa requirements, most foreign travelers are required to complete this form before arriving in the country.
By submitting basic personal, travel, and immigration details online in advance, travelers can enjoy a smoother arrival process when entering China. The information provided is used to assist with standard border checks and immigration processing upon entry.
Whether you are planning a business trip, a holiday, or a family visit, completing the MDAC is an important step before your journey.
From walking the Great Wall in Beijing to exploring Shanghai’s skyline, visiting Xi’an’s Terracotta Army, or cruising along the Li River in Guilin, travelers are encouraged to submit their China Arrival Card before departure to avoid unnecessary delays at the border.
Once submitted, the China Arrival Card is processed through the official border system. Travelers usually receive confirmation once their information has been successfully registered.
When accepted, the China Arrival Card is digitally linked to the traveler’s passport and journey details. There is no need to present a separate paper copy unless specifically requested, as immigration officers can access the information electronically upon arrival. A new China Arrival Card must be completed for every entry into China and should be submitted within 3 days (72 hours) prior to travel.
If the China Arrival Card contains missing or incorrect information, travelers may be asked to resubmit their details or make corrections before boarding or at the point of entry. It is essential to ensure that all information — including passport number, travel dates, and ports of entry — is accurate. Errors or incomplete submissions may result in delays at the border.
Our role is to assist travelers in completing the China Arrival Card accurately and on time. The review, acceptance, and final verification of the China Arrival Card are carried out solely by Chinese immigration authorities.
