Where can Chinese people travel without a visa?

Are people who travel to the US on a J-1 visa for a short 10 day exchange required to recieve a tax number?

• For example people who come on a long term 1 or 2 year J1 visa to the US and earn money in the US are required to file. But, what about people who some for 10 days to 3 weeks and do not earn money, do they need to declare the amount the USG has spend on supporting them in the US, i.e. pthe cost of plane ticktes, hotels and meals?

• Answer:

  The exchange visitor (J) nonimmigrant visa category is provided for persons who are approved to participate in exchange visitor programs in the U.S., under provisions of U.S. immigration law. This means that before you can apply at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate for a J visa, you must first apply, meet the requirements, and be accepted for one of the Exchange Visitor Program categories through a designated sponsoring organization. If you are accepted as a participant in an exchange program, the sponsor will provide you with information and documents necessary to apply for the J visa to enter the U.S.
