Our practical guides explain how things work for patients from other countries in China, such as medical visas, paying at hospitals and getting language support.
China has no visa type called a medical visa. Most patients apply for an S2 visa with an invitation letter from the hospital that will treat them. The 30-day visa-free rule does not list medical treatment; only Hainan's visa-free entry names it.
We found no national rule that requires Chinese hospitals to give patients from abroad an interpreter. A voluntary national standard for healthcare interpreting has applied since 1 November 2024. This guide explains how to get language help and who pays.
Public hospitals in China stopped asking for outpatient deposits on 31 March 2025, and deposits for a hospital stay now follow the average cost of the same illness. This guide explains cards, mobile payment, cash limits, insurance and your receipt.
