Do China passport holders need a visa to visit GQ?

Chinese ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to visit Equatorial Guinea for tourism. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for regular passports; the existing China-Equatorial Guinea waiver covers only diplomatic, official and service passports. Apply online before travel and arrive via Malabo International Airport. Equatorial Guinea launched an electronic visa (eVisa) system on 1 July 2023, which is the standard route for ordinary Chinese passport holders making a short tourist visit. The much-cited China-Equatorial Guinea visa exemption (in force since 2006 and extended in 2017) applies ONLY to diplomatic, official and service passports for up to 90 days; it does NOT cover ordinary/tourist passports, so regular travelers cannot enter visa-free. The tourist eVisa is single-entry, generally valid for and allowing a stay of up to 30 days, costs about USD 75, and is typically approved within roughly 24-72 hours after payment (some agents quote longer, so allow a buffer). A critical condition: eVisa holders must enter through Malabo International Airport. Equatorial Guinea also requires a valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate for entry, and travelers should carry proof of accommodation, onward/return tickets and sufficient funds. Because sources are consistent that ordinary passports are not exempt, the conservative and correct verdict for a Chinese tourist is eVisa required.
