Tourists from these countries will be allowed to enter China for short stays without a visa until the end of 2025. If you are from one of these countries, we recommend our 2, 3 or 4-week packages.

If you are not from these countries, you may also qualify for visa-free transit for 144-hours, which applies to 58 countries. You can attend our retreat with the 1-week package. 

We recommend inquiring directly with the China embassy or consulate of your country of residence to confirm the latest status of visa-free policies before you travel. 

We provide Q&A assistance for your visa application if you decide to join for longer than your visa-free period, but you must prepare documentations, attend the visa interview yourself and pay your visa fees.
