中国政府于2022年12月28日发布《2023年1月8日起我国移民管理政策措施将有新优化》,除了宣布从2023年1月8日开始取消国际航班“五个一”,取消集中隔离,恢复香港口岸正常通行以外,还宣布了恢复执行24/72/144小时过境免签政策。那么本文就和大家解读一下这个24/72/144小时过境免签。
I.24-hourporttransitvisa-free
一、24小时口岸过境免签
The24-hourtransitvisa-freepolicycanbefoundinthenationalmigrationadministration's“Interpretationofthe24-hourtransitvisa-freepolicyforforeigners”:
24小时过境免签的政策可以参看国家移民管理局《外国人24小时过境免签有关政策解读》:
AforeignerwhotransitsfromChinaonaninternationalaircraft,shiportrainwithacombinedpassengerticketforathirdcountryorregionandstayswithinChinafornotmorethan24hoursanddoesnotleavetheportofentrymaybeexemptedfromobtainingavisa,however,atemporaryentrypermitmustbeappliedtotheexitandentryfrontierinspectionauthorities.
外国人持联程客票搭乘国际航行的航空器、船舶、列车从中国过境前往第三国或者地区,在中国境内停留不超过24小时且不离开口岸,可免办签证,但须向出入境边防检查机关申请办理临时入境许可。
Inotherwords,inalmostallofChina'sinternationalairports,foreignersarenotrestrictednationality,exceptforspecialcircumstancescannotenterthecountry,aslongasdonotleavetheairport,canenjoy24-hourvisa-freetransfer.Non-availabilityofround-the-clockvisa-freetransfersinthefollowingspecialcircumstances:
也就是说,在中国几乎所有的国际机场,外国人不限制国籍,除了特殊情况不能入境的以外,只要不离开机场,都可以享受24小时免签转机。不能获得24小时免签转机特殊情况如下:
Theentryandexitfrontierinspectionorgansshallnotissuetemporaryentrypermitstoforeignerswhoare:(1)thosewhoarenotallowedtoenterthecountryundertheprovisionsoflawsandadministrativeregulations;(2)thosewhosepassportsorotherinternationaltraveldocumentshavebeenvalidforlessthanthreemonths,orhavebeenstampedbythevisaauthoritieswiththeirsignaturesrefused;(3)thosewithrecordsofillegalentry,exit,illegalresidenceorillegalemploymentwithinfiveyears;(4)anyviolationoftheprovisionsoftheregistrationofaccommodationwithin2yearsandthecircumstancesareserious.
具有以下情形的外国人,出入境边防检查机关不予签发临时入境许可:(一)具有法律、行政法规规定不准入境情形的;(二)所持护照或者其他国际旅行证件有效期不足3个月的,或者有我签证机关拒签章戳记的;(三)5年内有非法出入境、非法居留、非法就业记录的;(四)2年内有违反住宿登记规定行为且情节严重的。
Theairportsnotincludedinthefollowing72-hourand144-hourlists,suchasUrumqiDiwobao,NanchangJiangbei,NanningWuwei,ChangchunLongjia,FuzhouChangleandShenzhenBao'an,canonlyapplyto24-hourvisa-free.
不在下面72小时和144小时名单内的机场,比如乌鲁木齐地窝堡、南昌江北、南宁吴圩、长春龙嘉、福州长乐、深圳宝安等机场,只能适用24小时免签。
II.72-hourairporttransitvisa-free
二、72小时机场过境免签
The72-hourtransitvisa-freepolicycanbefoundinthenationalmigrationadministration's"Interpretationofthe72-hourtransitvisa-freepolicyforforeignersinselectedcountries":
72小时过境免签的政策可以参看国家移民管理局《部分国家外国人72小时过境免签有关政策解读》:
Unlikethe24-hourvisa-freetransit,the72-hourvisa-freetransitlimitsairportsandnationality,andonlycitizensofthefollowing53countriesaregrantedthe72-hourvisa-freetransit(currentlysuspendedinJapanandSouthKorea,soonly51countries):
和24小时过境免签不同,72小时过境免签限制了机场和国籍,只有以下53个国家的公民才可以获得72小时免签(目前日韩暂停,所以只有51个国家):
EuropeanSchengenvisaagreementcountries(24):Austria,Belgium,CzechRepublic,Denmark,Estonia,Finland,France,Germany,Greece,Hungary,Iceland,Italy,Latvia,Lithuania,Luxembourg,Malta,theNetherlands,Poland,Portugal,Slovakia,Slovenia,Spain,Sweden,Switzerland;
欧洲申根签证协议国家(24个):奥地利、比利时、捷克、丹麦、爱沙尼亚、芬兰、法国、德国、希腊、匈牙利、冰岛、意大利、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、卢森堡、马耳他、荷兰、波兰、葡萄牙、斯洛伐克、斯洛维尼亚、西班牙、瑞典、瑞士;
OtherEuropeancountries(15):Russia,Britain,Ireland,Cyprus,Bulgaria,Romania,Ukraine,Serbia,Croatia,BosniaandHerzegovina,Montenegro,Macedonia,Albania,Monaco,Belarus;
欧洲其他国家(15个):俄罗斯、英国、爱尔兰、塞浦路斯、保加利亚、罗马尼亚、乌克兰、塞尔维亚、克罗地亚、波黑、黑山、马其顿、阿尔巴尼亚、摩纳哥、白俄罗斯;

大洋洲国家(2个):澳大利亚、纽西兰;
Asiancountries(6,4):SouthKorea,Japan,Singapore,Brunei,UAE,Qatar.
亚洲国家(6个4个):韩国、日本、新加坡、文莱、阿联酋、卡塔尔。
The72-hourtransitvisaexemptionalsolimitstheairport.Onlythefollowingthreeairportscanobtainthe72-hourvisaexemption(11airportsatthebeginning,andthen8haveobtainedthe144-hourqualification).Atthesametime,passengerscannotleavethespecifiedscopeofactivitiesinbrackets:
72小时过境免签也限制了机场,只有以下3个机场可以获得72小时免签(一开始有11个机场,后来有8个获得了144小时资格),同时旅客不可以离开括号内的规定的活动范围:
GuilinLiangjiang(GuilinCity)
桂林两江(桂林市)
HarbinTaiping(HarbinCity)
哈尔滨太平(哈尔滨市)
ChangshaHuanghua(HunanProvince)
长沙黄花(湖南省)
NotethatthescopeofactivityhereinChangshafortheprovince,andseveralotherairportactivitiesonlyinthiscity.
注意这里长沙的活动范围为全省,而其他几个机场活动范围只是本市。
Atthesametime,passengersneedtoholda72-hourconfirmeddateandseattothethirdcountry(region)connectingtickets.TheUnitedStates-Xiamen-HongKongregionwaseligiblefor72-hourvisa-freetravelatthattime,whiletheUnitedStates-Xiamen-unitedstateswasnoteligiblefor72-hourvisa-freetravelaccordingtotheDPofpastpassengers,buttheUnitedStates-Xiamen-Seoultransit-theUnitedStates,isavailable72-hourvisa-free.ThismeansthataslongasA-Chinesemainland-B,AandBarenotfromthesamecountry,yougeta72-hourvisa-freepass.
同时,旅客需要持有72小时内已确定日期及座位的前往第三国(地区)联程机票。美国-厦门-香港地区,当时符合条件可以获得72小时免签,而根据过往旅客的DP,美国-厦门-美国,是不可以获得72小时免签的,但是美国-厦门-首尔转机-美国,是可以获得72小时免签的。也就是说只要A-中国大陆-B,A和B不是同一个国家(地区),那么就能获得72小时免签。

144小时免签和72小时免签大同小异,只是入境口岸有所不同。144小时依然只对上文中的53个国家公民有效。144小时的规则和前面的72小时完全一样,旅客需要从A国家(地区)前往中国大陆,然后飞往B国家(地区)。144小时免签有如下口岸和活动范围,旅客不可以离开括号内的活动范围:
