China Rolls Out Welcoming Visa Policies to Boost Global Connections
China is significantly easing travel restrictions, opening its doors to more international visitors. The National Immigration Administration (NIA) announced on Wednesday that the country has implemented unilateral visa-free entry and mutual visa exemption agreements with 75 nations. This move is a key part of China's strategy to simplify visa processes and foster greater international exchange.
Expanding Transit Options and Port Access
Delving deeper into these enhanced travel initiatives, the NIA highlighted a substantial expansion in visa-free transit opportunities. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, which spans from 2021 to 2025, the number of countries whose citizens can transit through China without a visa has grown to 55. Furthermore, the infrastructure supporting these transit policies has also seen considerable development. The number of entry ports available for visa-free transit has now reached 60, spread across 24 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities, making it easier for travelers to connect with their destinations.
