Visa & Entry

Spanish passport holders need a visa to enter China for most purposes. The standard tourist visa (L visa) is obtained at a Chinese embassy or consulate before departure. The fee is EUR 126 for single entry. Processing takes 4 business days for regular service, or 2 to 3 days for express at a higher fee. Apply through the Chinese Visa Application Service Center (CVASC) in Madrid or Barcelona.

China offers 144-hour visa-free transit at major airports including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and others. You must hold a confirmed onward ticket to a third country (not Spain, if that is where you came from) departing within 144 hours. You must stay within the designated administrative region for that port of entry. This is a genuine option for short layover visits.

Required documents for the L visa: completed application form, passport valid for at least 6 months with 2 blank pages, recent passport photo (48mm x 33mm, white background), round-trip flight booking, and hotel reservations for the full stay. Invitation letters are not required for tourist visas but can speed up processing.

Verify entry requirements with official sources before travel.
