Over the summer I had to renew my US passport. I was excited to get all those extra blank pages in my passport, though there are also some minor quirks to be aware of.
I just traveled to Beijing for one night, and wasnt eligible for a transit without visa, since I was flying to & from Hong Kong (and you can only do a transit without visa if youre traveling from one country/territory to another country/territory via select mainland China ports).
So in this post I wanted to share my experience with using a Chinese visa in an expired passport.
Chinese Visas & Expired Passports
I have a 10 year Chinese visa, which I applied for in 2015, so its valid through 2025. Meanwhile my previous passport expired in 2019.
The good news is that your Chinese visa continues to be valid in the expired passport, as long as you travel with your current and expired passport:
Youll just have to show your current and expired passports whenever a visa is needed.
When you fill out immigration cards, enter your current passport number, and then enter your visa number from your expired passport.
