To make it easier for foreigners to visit China, the country is expanding its list of visa-exempt nations.
Starting as a trial run, China will introduce a visa-free policy for regular passport holders from New Zealand, Australia, and Poland.
From July 1, 2024, to December 31, 2025, citizens of those countries can enter China without a visa for stays of up to 15 days. Whether traveling for business, tourism, visiting family and friends, or just passing through, citizens of relevant countries enjoy visa-free entry.
However, if you do not meet the visa-free criteria, you will still need to obtain a visa before your trip.
