China has extended its unilateral visa-free policy to more countries, offering visa-free treatment to travelers holding ordinary passports from nine countries. Starting from November 8, 2024, citizens of Slovakia, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein, and South Korea will be able to enter China without a visa, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Friday.
This significant policy change aims to promote tourism, enhance cultural exchanges, and strengthen economic ties between China and these nations. The extension of visa-free access is expected to facilitate easier travel for business professionals, tourists, and students, fostering deeper connections and cooperation.
Travelers from these countries can look forward to exploring China’s rich history, diverse cultures, and dynamic cities with more ease. The move is also anticipated to boost inbound tourism and contribute positively to China’s travel industry and overall economic growth.
