COVID-19 Prevention and Control
Dear Valued Passengers,
During the epidemic, in order to make your travels more convenient when flying between China and the U.S., we have shared the relevant travel information on the U.S. official website for passengers taking CZ328/CZ327 flights.
Please visit the official website below for the latest updated information before purchasing the ticket. Thank you for choosing China Southern Airlines, and we wish you a safe journey.
Due to the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, China Southern Airlines reminds passengers to take precautions before departure and during the trip. N95 masks should be worn throughout the flight, and personal protection should be strictly enforced.
If you need the pre-departure preparation requirements for China Southern Airlines flights departing from Los Angeles/Toronto, please be aware of the North American official account of China Southern Airlines.
1. Regarding the entry notice issued by the National Immigration Administration (Updated on September 23, 2020)
Since 0:00 on September 28, 2020, foreigners with valid Chinese residence permits for work, personal affairs, and reunion will be allowed to enter, and relevant personnel does not need to apply for a new visa. Suppose the three types mentioned above of residence permits held by foreigners expire after 0:00 on March 28, 2020. In that case, the holder can apply to the Chinese embassy abroad with the expired residence permit and relevant materials, provided the reasons for coming to China remain unchanged. Then, apply for a corresponding visa to enter the country. The personnel mentioned above must strictly abide by China's epidemic prevention management regulations.
Regarding restrictions on entry into China, you may consult the local Chinese embassy or consulate for more information.
