Big travel news for Taiwan residents: the Chinese mainland is set to expand its on-arrival document services to cover all eligible ports.
At a regular briefing on Wednesday, Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, announced that travelers from Taiwan can soon apply for a single-entry Taiwan Compatriot Permit upon arrival—whether flying in directly or transiting through Hong Kong, Macao, or other international hubs.
This streamlined policy aims to further open up the Chinese mainland, making journeys smoother, safer, and more flexible. Detailed guidelines and the full list of eligible ports will be released by relevant authorities in the coming weeks.
Beyond convenience, the move is designed to boost cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, promoting peaceful and integrated development between the Chinese mainland and the Taiwan region. For business travelers and digital nomads, it could unlock new opportunities in emerging markets and tech hubs. For culture lovers and adventure seekers, it means less paperwork and more spontaneous exploration.
Whether you’re planning a quick business trip or a backpacking adventure, keep an eye out for the official rollout. Your next mainland journey might just be one form away.
