Patient Q&A: Can I enter Hainan visa-free for a short medical trip?
China's immigration guidance says eligible ordinary-passport holders from 59 countries may use Hainan's 30-day visa-free policy for medical treatment, subject to the policy's scope.
Question: Can I travel to Hainan without a visa if my trip is for a short medical check, consultation or treatment arrangement?
Answer: The National Immigration Administration says eligible ordinary-passport holders from 59 countries may enter Hainan for up to 30 days without a visa for short stays that include medical treatment. Entry must remain within Hainan's policy scope, and the traveler should check passport eligibility, route, length of stay and local entry requirements before departure.
This policy guidance does not replace hospital acceptance, treatment planning or airline clearance. Patients should confirm appointment readiness and any medical transport needs directly with the relevant licensed providers and travel authorities.
