A friend of mine who just attended a conference which was held by the Education Beaurau of Hangzhou said that the border's about to reopen at the end of Aug.
Just rumor, but it sounds real.

I got caught outside during Chinese New Year. I live and work in Xi'an and have not been able to get home since then February 1st.

I too heard rumors about late August for workers and October for tourists. But will that August re-opening include the dependents of the workers? I don't know ...

I hope not late August I’m hoping by July at least . There are already international flights to China and people with business visas entering but I don’t know if I can use my work visa that was issued before the travel ban To enter .

Hi guys, I'm in the same situation here or even worse. I resigned from my former job and was about to start working in another company after Chinese New Year. Came to Spain to visit my family during a week and was not able to enter China afterwards. I lost my employment there and now all my stuff are there and can't go back.

Does anyone has any new information about the border re-opening?

No updates yet. EU advice for EU countries was to open border to 14 non EU countries. China being one of them, but only if China reciprocate and open their border also. So it's a bit cat and mouse, if China want to allow its citizens to travel to EU, they will need to open their border in return.

A lot of Chinese students travel to Europe for study, so maybe with the new academic year coming in August/September, China will have more pressure to relax some restrictions to allow their students to return to university in Europe. However I wouldn't guarantee that to happen. But I'm hoping they will. Fingers crossed!
