In a bold move to enhance international exchanges, China has expanded its visa-free travel policy to include Slovakia, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein, and South Korea. From November 8, 2024, to December 31, 2025, citizens from these countries holding regular passports can visit China for business, tourism, family visits, or transit without a visa for up to 15 days.
For those who do not meet the visa-free criteria, obtaining a visa before entry remains a requirement.
This new initiative builds on China’s previous agreements with 24 countries that enjoy full visa exemption, along with 16 countries that have specific visa-free entry policies. Furthermore, travelers from 54 nations can take advantage of 72-hour or 144-hour visa-free transit options. As the entry process for foreign visitors continues to streamline and improve, China’s appeal as a travel destination grows stronger, inviting more explorers to experience its rich culture and vibrant landscapes.
