Q: I am a Singaporean and am interested in visiting Zhangzi Island. Could you clarify the visa requirements and registration process for international visitors?

A: Under the China-Singapore mutual visa-free policy that came into effect on Feb 9, 2024, you can travel to Zhangzi Island in Liaoning province without a visa for up to 30 days. This policy applies to holders of ordinary passports traveling for purposes of tourism, visiting family members, or business.

Upon arrival, ensure you have a valid passport and carry it with you when boarding trains or other public transportation, checking into hotels, and entering major tourist attractions.

During your stay in China, if you are staying at a hotel, the staff will handle the registration with the local police for you at the front desk. However, if you are staying at a private residence, such as a friend's apartment, you or your host must register with the local police within 24 hours of your arrival.
