Unilateral visa-free
France → China study camps: entry rules
Ordinary passport holders from France can enter China visa-free for short stays that cover typical DXJ study camps.
What the rules say
Visa-free for up to 30 days
For unilateral visa-free entry, the 30-day stay is counted from 00:00 on the day after entry.
Current unilateral schedule runs through 2026-12-31.
Border inspection may ask for proof matching your purpose (invitation, tickets, accommodation). Carry camp confirmation and flight bookings.
Visa-free entry does not cover work, degree study, or news reporting — those need the matching visa in advance.
What this means for DXJ camps
DXJ short study camps (often 7–15 days) fit inside a 30-day visa-free window when your camp dates are planned accordingly. Chinese Embassy FAQs state that study tours / summer and winter camps within 30 days are covered for unilateral visa-free nationalities.
Message your advisor with preferred camp dates. We’ll match a line inside your stay window — for example Chongqing camp · Chengdu camp · Shenzhen · HK camp.
