China Travel Tips

If you are planning to stay for a long period of time, or are visiting an area that is experiencing political unrest or other problems, please register with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate through the State Department's China Travel Registration Website. Registration will make your presence and whereabouts known in case it is necessary to contact you in an emergency.

Registered Traveler Program - TSA - for frequent fliers

All citizens traveling in China for a month or more are encouraged to register with the U.S. Embassy in Beijing or the nearest U.S. consulate. Registration will assist our posts in China in locating you in the event of an emergency at home or in replacing a lost or stolen passport.

When you travel in China you should also photocopy the data page of your passport and keep it in a separate place from your passport. In the event that your passport is lost, stolen, or in the possession of government officials, travel agents or tourism representatives, you will have the requisite information available, as well as proof of your identity and citizenship.
