Why this verdict
Danish citizens are encoded from China's official destination source set (China ordinary-passport visa-free cohort). This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, tourism / short visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, long-term stay, diplomatic/service passports, special travel documents, route-specific waivers, airline handling and immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.
Conditional rules
- Work, study, residence, employment or long-term stay Visa required
The short-visitor rule encoded here does not cover work, study, residence, employment or long-term stay.
- China transit-without-visa, regional or port-visa route Conditional
China has route-specific transit-without-visa, regional visa-free and port-visa policies. These do not automatically replace the ordinary tourist-entry rule for this passport.
