These are the questions Australian travellers ask us most often. Time-sensitive rules should always be confirmed against current official advice.
Do I need a visa?
It depends on your passport, itinerary, travel dates and the current rules. Check official Chinese visa information and Smartraveller before booking non-refundable arrangements.
Can I use Australian cards?
Eligible international cards are accepted in many places, but acceptance is not universal. Prepare mobile payment options and carry some RMB cash as a backup.
Will my usual apps work?
Internet access and app availability differ from Australia. Download essential documents, maps and translation information before departure, and ask us about practical connectivity options for your itinerary.
What support is available?
Go East provides English and Mandarin support before and during the journey. For urgent matters on tour, use the contact method included in your final travel documents.
