Could anyone confirm (or better yet, have personal experience) if this is correct regarding the visa policy for Hainan?
Visa Exemptions:
Nationals of X with a normal passport arriving at Haikou (HAK) or Sanya (SYX) for a maximum stay of 30 days. They must:
- have a passport valid for a minimum of 6 months from the arrival date; and
- have at least 1 unused visa page in the passport; and
- stay only in Hainan province; and
- have a confirmed hotel reservation; and
- have a return/onward ticket for an international flight from Haikou (HAK) or Sanya (SYX).
I've read somewhere that you still need some kind of certificate from a "Hainan based travel agency" but not sure if that's still the case?
