Chinese officials announced the expansion of its visa-free policy to nationals of Denmark, Cyprus, Greece, Portugal and Slovenia.
Key Points:
Background: The Chinese government has introduced various measures recently to increase inbound travel from foreign tourists and drive business in its economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. As BAL previously reported, earlier this year tourists from Australia, New Zealand and Poland were also granted unrestricted entry to China until the end of 2025.
BAL Analysis: Visitors from 18 European countries can now visit China visa-free. The government is focusing on new visa-free schemes and enhancing tourism infrastructure to facilitate cross-border travel, increase inbound tourism to further economic development and encourage cultural exchanges.
