<P> Before February 2014, Chinese immigration authorities did not generally allow mainland Chinese citizens to board outbound flights without a valid visa for the destination country, even if the destination country granted a visa on arrival to Chinese passport holders, unless the exit was approved by the Ministry of Public Security . Exceptions were possible if the traveller had a third country's visa and a connecting flight from the destination country to the third country . As of June 2017, if the destination is a visa - on - arrival or e-visa issuing country this approval is no longer needed . </P> <P> Since e-passports are issued to all Chinese citizens and e-gates have been installed in most of the international airports in China, returning Chinese citizens do not need to line up at the immigration check points for entry stamps as foreigners do . Instead, they can go through an e-gate by scanning their e-passport and finger (s) all by themselves with the whole process taking only 10 seconds at most . Entry information and their facial image will be stored automatically in a database . (No entry stamps will be left in their e-passport, but any passport holder could request gratis entry or exit records .) E-gates are not only used for fast entry for Chinese e-passport holders, but they have also been tested for fast - exit in Beijing Capital Airport Terminal 2 . In the future, Chinese e-passport holders can both exit and enter China by e-gate . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Country </Th> <Th> Visa requirement </Th> <Th> Notes (excluding departure fees) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Afghanistan </Td> <Td> Visa required </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Albania </Td> <Td> Visa required </Td> <Td> Holders of valid multiple entry visa issued by the United States, United Kingdom or Schengen States are visa exempt . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Algeria </Td> <Td> Visa required </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Andorra </Td> <Td> Visa required </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Angola </Td> <Td> Visa required </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Antigua and Barbuda </Td> <Td> Visa not required </Td> <Td> 30 days </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Argentina </Td> <Td> Visa required </Td> <Td> E-Visa if holding a valid US or Schengen visa .
