Arrived mid-afternoon the other day from LHR. At passport control, tour groups from China were directed to a special queue and non-Chinese passport holders were directed to the regular queue. Much better experience and I cleared passport control in under 5 minutes in the height of afternoon Asian arrivals.

So what about non-tour Chinese passport holders? In fact, what about Chinese passports at all since there should no longer be any Chinese tour from Monday onward.

Schengen ADS (tour group) travel visas for Chinese passport users are being stopped from Monday?

I would have to assume that at least some other kinds of Schengen and Schengen country national visas are still allowed even wIth ADS tour visas being stopped as you seem to be suggesting.

China is blocking overseas tour groups leaving the country, starting on Monday.
