Covid-19 Requirements for Chinese Visitors Visiting the United States

Meeting all the screening requirements

For many years, the United States has welcomed visitors from China with open arms. But in the wake of COVID-19, those days may be gone for the foreseeable future. The health crisis has brought about some pretty strict new guidelines for anyone wanting to visit the U.S. from China, including Chinese nationals and foreign residents living in China. Let’s understand and look at what these prerequisites entail for Chinese visitors to America and how they might get ready for their trip.

Covid-19 Information

Since the outbreak of Covid-19, the United States has seen a decrease in the number of Chinese visitors. However, there are still many people who travel from China to the US each year. If you are planning to visit the US from China, there are some requirements that you must meet to be allowed into the country.

  • You will need to get a negative Covid-19 test result within 72 hours of your flight to the US. 
  • You will also need to provide proof of health insurance that covers Covid-19 treatment. 
  • Once you arrive in the US, you will be required to quarantine for 14 days. 
  • During this time, you will not be allowed to leave your hotel room or interact with other people.

If you meet all of these requirements, you will be able to enjoy your trip to the United States. Remember to follow all safety guidelines while you are in the United States so that you can help prevent the spread of Covid-19 and you can enjoy your trip.  

The Current Situation

As of right now, the United States is not allowing any visitors from China due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This includes tourists, business travelers, and students. The only people who are allowed to enter the country from China are American citizens, green card holders, and immediate family members of US citizens. These restrictions are in place until further notice.

What are the Requirements?

As the number of Covid-19 cases in China continues to rise, the Chinese government has implemented several restrictions on travel. As a result, many people are wondering what the requirements are for visiting the United States.

  1. All visitors from China must have a valid passport. In addition, they must obtain a visa before traveling to the United States. The process for obtaining a visa can be found on the website of the US Embassy in Beijing.
  2. Once in the United States, visitors from China will be subject to the same entry requirements as any other foreigner. This includes providing proof of health insurance and having a negative Covid-19 test result within 72 hours of arrival. Visitors will also be required to quarantine for 14 days upon their arrival.

What else should you know?

There are a few other things you should know if you’re planning to visit the United States from China.

  • It’s a must to have a visa. You can apply for a tourist visa online or at a U.S. embassy or consulate in China.
  • You’ll need to make sure you have travel insurance that covers medical expenses in case you get sick while in the United States. The U.S. government does not provide health insurance for foreign visitors, so it’s important to have your coverage.
  • Keep in mind that China and the United States have different customs and traditions. For example, tipping is not common in China, but it is expected in the United States. As long as you’re aware of these differences, you’ll be able to enjoy your trip to the United States without any problems. 

Travel during Covid-19

As the world continues to grapple with the Covid-19 pandemic, travel has been one of the hardest hit industries. With border closures and restrictions in place, many people have had to cancel or postpone their travel plans. However, there are still some people who need to travel for essential reasons. If you’re one of those people, here’s what you need to know about traveling during Covid.

If you’re traveling from China to the United States, you’ll need to get a negative Covid-19 test result within 72 hours of your flight. You’ll also need to provide proof of health insurance that covers medical expenses related to Covid-19. Once you arrive in the US, you’ll be required to quarantine for 14 days.

There are strict rules in place for travelers from China, but it’s important to remember that these rules are designed to keep everyone safe. If you follow the requirements and take all the necessary precautions, you can help stop the spread of Covid-19 and keep yourself and others safe.

Eligibility

To enter the United States, you must be a citizen of China. You can also visit for tourism or business purposes if your trip is less than 90 days. If your trip is longer than 90 days, you need a visa.

You must also have a valid passport (with at least six months left on it), an onward ticket, and proof that you’re traveling to the United States for tourism or business purposes. 

You need to have the correct paperwork and  have to be eligible for a visa.

To apply for a visa, you need to fill out an I-94W form. This form is filled out by your employer when they grant your application for a work visa in China. You will also need to fill out another form called CBP Form 6059B that allows them access to the United States (this can also be done online).

You will need one passport photo per person on both forms as well as all other supporting documentation needed by CBP officials such as school transcripts and proof of financial stability (your bank statements).
