A Quick Look at China's New Visa-free policy

As China's opening-up policy continues to expand, we sincerely invite our clients from overseas markets to visit us. Here is a general overview:

1. Visa-Free Access to Specific Regions

On December 1, 2023, China piloted a unilateral visa-free policy for six countries: France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Malaysia;

Starting from March 14, China trials a visa-free policy for ordinary passport holders from six European countries: Switzerland, Ireland, Hungary, Austria, Belgium, and Luxembourg.

The above nationals are allowed to enter China for business, tourism, visiting relatives and friends, and transit for no more than 15 days without a visa. The visa-free policy is a trial and it is expected to end on Nov 30, 2024.

2. 72-Hour and 144-Hour Transit Visa-Free Policy

China has implemented a policy allowing travelers from certain countries to transit through select Chinese cities for up to 72 hours or 144 hours without a visa. This policy applies to passengers who hold valid onward tickets to a third country (or region) and meet certain requirements. Eligible cities for this policy include Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, Shenyang, Dalian, and a few others.

Y&J headquarters is based in Chengdu, which is eligible for the transit visa-free policy. As an enterprise focusing on international business, we believe these new policies will provide greater convenience for your visit.

We look forward to meeting you face-to-face to discuss cooperation opportunities. Let us know if you have any plans, we will be more than happy to help you arrange your schedule.
