China visa by passport · Bulgaria
In most cases, no — ordinary passport holders from Bulgaria can enter China visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism, business, family or friend visits, exchange and transit. A visa is only required for longer stays or regulated purposes.
If you hold an ordinary passport from Bulgaria and your trip is for tourism, business, family or friend visits, exchange or transit, and your stay is 30 days or less, you generally do NOT need a China visa under the 30-day visa-free policy. Stays over 30 days, or purposes such as work, study and journalism, still require a visa.
Up to 30 days per entry under the current visa-free policy, provided the purpose is approved (tourism, business, family/friend visit, exchange or transit). Count your days carefully from entry to exit.
Even when entering visa-free, carry proof of onward or return travel, accommodation details and a simple itinerary. Border officers may ask you to demonstrate the purpose and the 30-day limit of your visit.
For stays longer than 30 days, or for work (Z), study (X), journalism (J) and other regulated activities. In those cases you must apply for the correct visa category before travel.
