Travel & visas
Travel arranged by a licensed partner, under its own contract.
Flights, hotel, airport transfers and accompanying-family logistics are handled by a licensed travel partner. That partner issues the itinerary and the travel contract and carries the operator's responsibility. TGCP coordinates the medical side; we do not sell travel and we charge no commission on it.
Travel partner
Who handles what
Flights, hotel and visas are arranged by a licensed travel agency. We connect you to CITS (China International Travel Service) and Utour — the agency issues the itinerary and travel contract and carries the operator's responsibility. We take no travel commission.
The licensed travel partner
- Flights, hotel and airport transfers
- Accompanying-family and companion logistics
- Issues the itinerary and the travel contract
- Carries the operator's responsibility for the tour
TGCP
- Coordinates treatment dates so travel fits around them
- Provides the medical invitation material to support your visa
- Charges no commission on travel and does not collect travel payments
- Our fee is the stated coordination fee only
The travel partner must hold a licence covering inbound tourism business. The travel contract and invoices are issued by that partner, which carries the tour-operator's responsibility. TGCP does not collect travel payments and receives no travel commission.
Visa routes
How entry to China works
China has no separate "medical visa" category. The route depends on your nationality and how long treatment takes.
- Visa-free entry — up to 30 days, for check-ups and shorter treatment. Currently runs to 31 December 2026.
- 240-hour transit exemption — around 55 countries transiting to a third destination, up to 10 days.
- S2 visa — short-term private affairs including medical treatment, for stays over 30 days. Over 180 days uses an S1 visa.
- Invitation letter — issued by the treating hospital with the relevant licence. Intermediaries cannot issue it.
- Hainan — a separate visa-free policy for around 61 countries, connecting to the Boao Lecheng pilot zone.
Visa rules change. We confirm the route that applies to your nationality and dates before you travel.
