Recently, Chinese tourists have encountered problems when entering the French overseas department of Réunion. The Chinese Consulate General in Saint-Denit reminds Chinese tourists planning to visit Réunion:The exemption does not require the preparation of materials, and the relevant entry data must be completed before departure.
In the light of the recent problems encountered by Chinese tourists entering Réunion in the French overseas department, the Chinese Consulate-General in Saint-Denit reminds that Chinese tourists who remain in Réunion for up to 14 days may be exempted from the visa, provided they have at least seven days prior to their travel to obtain a de-licensed entry certificate (Voucher) and have the relevant documents with them so that they can be examined by the French border authorities on arrival. The list of specific travel agencies can be found on the official website of the French Embassy in China (https://france-visas.gouv.fr/zh/chine) or on the Réunion Tourist Board network (https://www.reunion.fr).
In addition, cell phone signals are weak or not covered in parts of Reunion. It is recommended that Chinese tourists travel in advance to inform their families or friends about their travels in order to avoid losing contact.
