passport validity for travel to China

Upvote:1

Some countries requires travelers' passports to be valid on arrival, some that their passports be valid for a specific period after the time of expected travel. Conceivably, some countries might specify different time periods depending upon the nationality or country of residence of the traveler. Countries through which you transit to get to China may, in addition, also have their own passport validity requirements. You haven't disclosed any of these specifics.

Airlines use the Timatic database to assess the sufficiency of a traveler's documentation. Many Timatic portals are available to users; here's one.

Querying Timatic about a no-transit entry to China by a national of a random half-dozen countries consistently yields this:

Passport required. - Passports and other documents accepted for entry must be valid on arrival.

A more specific answer can be given if you specify your nationality, and if different, your country of residence, as well as the country(ies) through which you'll transit to get to China.
