Hi, anyone flown to China recently? The latest news I can find is from late April when China dropped the PCR test requirement and said flyers could self-test with a rapid antigen test. But the press release says you must test and implies there would be spot checks. Does this mean we should take an antigen test before flying, and then bring the physical test with us? Or just don’t worry about it at all since they also say airlines will not check for a negative result. So it’s all about trust and I’m over thinking?
Did you click on the link and look at the date it was written? It’s two months old.
It also didn’t say the rule applied to arrivals from Taiwan. Only applied to what they consider international arrivals.
Not to mention the fact that my friend personally experienced this first-hand two days ago. I think I’ll go with my friend’s first-hand experience, thank you.
I will travel to China this week. You have to do a test yourself and then you have to fill out a form telling the result of the test. You do not need to bring the tester with you.
The instructions are still correct, you have to fill out this form or use the app, 出入境健康申报 and then say the result of your test.
You have to fill in the customs form before flying. If you are not travelling to China through Hog Kong or Macau, it will ask if you’ve done a rapid test in 48 hrs from flight, as well as symptoms.
They will then display a QR code that you should screenshot. Once arriving, you will need to scan the QR code to get into immigration. You will also need to scan the QR (or redo form) when leaving.
They didn’t actually check to see covid test photo, but maybe they can request.
Absolutely everything about this is wrong. I flew from Taiwan to China.
I’ll take my own experience rather than your “friends”.
Alright guys! I made it! I made it in and then made it out alive, approx 78 hours later! Had to make it a short trip because Forumosa didn’t seem to work at all over in the motherland.
Regarding the health form, flying in from Taipei required the statement that we tested negative. Departing to Macau didn’t require any of that nonsense at all If anyone has any questions, let me know. Can also answer questions regarding the 144-hr visa-free transit.
Did your friend travel from HK or Macau? I noticed that when I checked the “traveling from/to HK/Macao” box, the section about testing and also listing which countries I had been in immediately disappeared.
If anyone has any questions, let me know. Can also answer questions regarding the 144-hr visa-free transit.
