Because Messi has dual citizenship and holds both Argentine and Spanish passports.
According to the revised Agreement between the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Government of the Argentine Republic on Facilitating the Visa Procedures for Tourists and the Agreement between the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Government of the Argentine Republic on Facilitating the Visa Procedures for Business Personnel, China and Argentina will apply for a ten-year valid, multiple entry tourist and business visa for eligible citizens of both countries from June 15, 2017. As of now, China has signed visa free agreements with 152 countries. Chinese citizens who hold applicable passports for short-term travel to these countries usually do not need to apply for a visa in advance.
But when I came this time, maybe because I didn't communicate clearly, Messi didn't bring an Argentine passport, he brought a Spanish passport.

Fortunately, after urgent processing, it took about two hours for Messi's expedited visa to be processed. Messi also gave a thumbs up to the border inspection work at Beijing Airport. After completing the procedures, Messi walked out of the airport and got on the bus. The waiting fans shouted, "Messi Messi!"!
This is also Messi's seventh personal visit to China.
Previously, in his 6 trips to China, there was the football final at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where Messi, at the age of 21, helped the Argentine men's football team win an Olympic gold medal.
