Answer
Entry requirements depend on your nationality and route (visa, visa-free, transit schemes). Confirm with the National Immigration Administration or your nearest Chinese embassy/consulate before you fly.
Where an official online foreigner arrival card exists, use only the official NIA channel. The service is described as free; NIA has warned about fraudulent lookalike sites.
ChinaMate does not host arrival-card forms and never asks for your passport password or payment to “expedite” entry.
