Beginning in November 2016, all nationals of the People’s Republic of China holding valid 10-year B1/B2, B1 or B2 visas who travel to the United States on a passport issued by the People’s Republic of China must comply with EVUS requirements regardless of their current residence. EVUS is the online system used by Chinese nationals holding 10-year B1/B2, B1, or B2 visas.
Chinese nationals with other types of visas are not subject to EVUS requirements. Travelers using other travel documents, including Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, and Taiwan passports are not subject to EVUS requirements.
Each EVUS enrollment will contain the visa holder’s name, birth date, and passport information as well as biographical and employment information. There will be a nominal fee to enroll with EVUS. Enrollment for all applicants will remain valid for two years or until the traveler’s visa or passport expire whichever comes first. A third party may submit the required information to EVUS and pay the fees on an individual’s behalf but the traveler will be responsible for the truthfulness and accuracy of the information submitted. The EVUS website will be available in both English and Mandarin. However, all applicants for enrollment must answer the EVUS questions in English.
