2.问：中国出入境边防检查机关是否及如何核查来华事由？入境时除护照外是否需携带其他材料？

Question 2: Do Chinese immigration inspection authorities check the purpose of visit before allowing foreign citizens to enter China? Are there additional documents other than passport required upon entry to China?

答：来华事由符合免签政策规定的经商、旅游观光、探亲访友或过境的外国人，经中国出入境边防检查机关依法查验准许后入境；对来华事由与免签政策规定事由不符或具有其他法定不准入境情形的外国人，出入境边防检查机关将依法作出不准入境决定。建议携带邀请函、机票酒店订单等与来华事由相符合的证明材料。来华工作、学习、采访报道等人员不属于免签范围。

Answer: Foreign citizens entering China for business, tourism, family visit or transit purposes, who are eligible for visa-free entry, will be allowed to enter China after being checked by the Chinese immigration inspection authorities. Individuals whose purposes of visit do not align with the visa-free entry policy or in categories of entry denial, the Chinese immigration inspection authorities will make entry denial decision according to relevant laws and regulations. It is encouraged to take necessary supportive documents with you on entering China, such as the invitation letter, flight tickets and hotel reservation letter etc., which will help to verify your purpose of visit. Individuals coming to China for work, study, or journalism purposes do not apply to visa-free entry policy.
