In order to reduce cross-border transmission of Covid-19, all Chinese and foreign passengers who are to fly from Poland to China will be required to take nucleic acid and IgM anti-body tests and then apply for a green health code with the “HS” mark or a certified health declaration form before boarding the flight. The specific requirements are as follows:

Test Requirements

Passengers going to China via direct flights must take nucleic acid and IgM anti-body tests within 48 hours before boarding. They must take the tests at a medical institution designated or recognized by the Chinese embassy/consulate in Poland (the list of designated medical institutions for taking IgM anti-body test will be promulgated soon) and then apply at the Chinese embassy/consulate for a green health code with the “HS” mark or a certified health declaration form which certificates of negative results of both tests.

Passengers going to China via connecting flights must take nucleic acid and IgM anti-body tests in Poland within 48 hours before boarding their flight to the transit country and then take both tests again in the transit country within 48 hours before boarding the plane to China. Passengers must apply at the Chinese embassies/consulates in BOTH countries for green health codes with the “HS” mark or certified health declaration forms with certificates of negative results of both tests.

Foreign Passengers Applying for 

Certified Health Status Declaration Form

Foreign passengers must email the scanned copies of their negative nucleic acid and IgM anti-body tests results along with their passport information page and the signed health declaration form to the Chinese embassy/ consulates mailbox. The Chinese embassy/ consulates will then examine and verify the above information and email the stamped certified health declaration form back to the passenger. Passengers are advised to print the form out and bring the form with them to the airport. Foreign passengers must present the form within its validity period to the airlines flying directly to China before boarding.

 Reminder

Please read the requirements carefully and follow them accordingly. Failure to obtain the green health code with the “HS” mark or a certified health declaration form with the negative nucleic acid and IgM anti-body tests results means you do not qualify for boarding the flight to China and will have to change your itinerary.

If you must go to China via connecting flights, please check the following information beforehand: 

1. the starting time of the requirement for certificates of negative nucleic acid and IgM anti-body tests of the Chinese embassies/consulates in transit countries; 

2. the medical institutions designated by the Chinese embassies/consulates in transit countries; 

3.  the entry regulations in transit countries; 

4. other requirements regarding negative nucleic acid and IgM anti-body tests in transit countries. If the airport in the transit country is not equipped with rapid test service, please apply for visa to enter the transit country to take tests.

Please carefully choose your transit flight route to China. Failure to enter the transit country or meet the requirements regarding the tests, the green code or certified health declaration form could result in being stranded and heightened infection risks.
