China has extended the 30-day visa-free entry for citizens of 45 countries!

China has decided to extend its relaxed entry policy. Now, citizens of 45 countries, including virtually all EU and UK members, can travel to China without a visa for up to 30 days until 31 December 2026. The end date is not final and the relaxed entry regulations may be extended again. The information was reported by Reuters. Sweden has been added to the list by the Chinese authorities, so a total of 32 countries from Europe and others from South America, Asia and Oceania are now included in the visa-free travel scheme. This is excellent news for anyone planning a trip to China or who would like to visit Beijing and the Great Wall of China during a stopover, for example when flying with Air China.
