Visa-Free Travel to China by Train from Hanoi
Vietnamese citizens can experience visa-free entry into China when traveling by train, but it comes with specific conditions. Here's what you need to know.
If you're part of a tour group organized by a Chinese travel agency, and you have a valid passport, you may be eligible for a visa waiver.
Entry is permitted through designated border crossings, including Nanning.
It's crucial to stay with the tour group and stick to the itinerary. Remember, this visa-free travel is designed for short stays specifically related to organized tours.
For those not traveling in a tour group, and instead opting for independent travel, you will need a China visa. This includes purchasing your own train tickets and planning your trip independently.
