Visa required, BUT since July 2025 (Resolution 353/2025) holders of a valid US visa (B1/B2, J, O, P, E, H-1B) may enter for tourism without a visa and without an AVE. Since 14 Jan 2026 Migraciones also accepts a US Green Card as an alternative to a visa (tourist/business). Chinese tourist visas are issued under a separate bilateral agreement (10-year validity).
