Entry details
Holders of a Afghanistan passport need a visa obtained in advance when visiting China. The Afghanistan passport currently ranks #199 of 199 worldwide, with 26 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.
China is middling in how freely it admits visitors, admitting 67 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #106 with 83 open destinations. As fellow Asia countries, their rules are frequently tied to regional arrangements. The arrangement is reciprocal — China citizens face the same visa required requirement in the other direction.
In the opposite direction, China citizens travelling to Afghanistan face: visa required.
