China → Guam
Mainland Chinese passport holders traveling to Guam for short tourism or business are not eligible for the Guam-CNMI visa waiver on a bare passport; a valid U.S. visa is required.
The eCFR states that PRC nationals may use CNMI EVS-TAP only for the CNMI; a PRC national seeking admission to Guam still requires a visa.

- Visa required· apec_abtc
An APEC Business Travel Card does not by itself waive U.S./Guam visa or authorization requirements; the United States is a transitional ABTC member, so ABTC gives facilitation such as fast-track lanes or visa appointment benefits, not a substitute for a U.S. visa, ESTA, or G-CNMI ETA.

A U.S. lawful permanent resident may use a Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551, or temporary I-551 evidence as a U.S. entry document; this is not a tourist visa-waiver stay and no short-visitor stay limit is stated.
