No, you need a visa to enter China. Since you reside in UK, you can make an appointment with local China Visa Application Service Center to lodge the application.

Thank you so much for your reply. I contacted Chinese Embassy in Mauritius. They told me I am exempt however I think this applies only if I am travelling from Mauritius. Is that correct?

Answered by Nancy | Sep. 17, 2023 18:52

I think you can believe the saying of Embassy. As I know, citizens of Mauritius who intend to stay no longer than 30 days in China, shall be exempted from visa requirement， no matter where they depart from. But if you intend to study, work, reside or engage in media activities shall apply for a visa.

Answered by Pretty | Sep. 18, 2023 23:17

Thank you. I think that makes sense.

Answered by Pretty | Sep. 19, 2023 13:01

I am just visiting China as a tourist for 9 days. I have been advised by a visa application company to apply for a visa. However I am aware that I am exempt as a Mauritian citizen. My departure and arrival flight will be from the UK.
