Can Indonesia citizens visit China visa-free in 2026?
Short answer: Only in transit. Indonesia passport holders need a visa for a regular visit to mainland China.
Indonesia passport holders can stay up to 10 days (240 hours) without a visa when transiting through China to a third country, entering at one of 65 designated ports and staying within the permitted regions.
What you need at the border
- An ordinary passport valid for your whole stay (6 months' validity is recommended).
- For 240-hour transit: a confirmed onward ticket to a third country or region within 10 days.
- Visa-free entry is for tourism, business, visiting family and transit. Work, study and journalism need a visa.
