Great news for travelers planning to visit China! From December 1, 2024, until December 31, 2025, citizens from most European Union countries can continue enjoying visa-free travel to China for stays of up to 30 days.
This extension follows the success of a pilot program introduced earlier in 2023, which aimed to boost tourism and enhance cultural exchanges. The measure has been widely welcomed by travellers and tour operators alike, making China more accessible than ever for EU nationals.
What Does This Mean for EU Travelers?
EU citizens can now travel visa-free to China, allowing them to explore the country’s rich history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant cities with greater ease. This is particularly exciting for those joining Trans-Mongolian tours, which often include extended stays in China as part of the itinerary.
Exceptions to the Visa-Free Policy
Unfortunately, nationals of the UK, USA, Australia, and New Zealand are not included in this extended visa-free arrangement. However, travelers from these countries can still benefit from visa-free travel in Beijing, provided they arrive and depart by plane. This policy allows for a quick and convenient visit to China’s capital, making it easier to include Beijing in travel plans.
Why Choose China for Your Next Adventure?
With its blend of ancient traditions and modern innovation, China offers something for every traveller. Whether you’re walking along the Great Wall, marveling at the Terracotta Warriors, or exploring the dynamic cities of Beijing and Shanghai, there’s no shortage of unforgettable experiences.
Trans-Mongolian tours are an ideal way to explore this incredible country. These journeys seamlessly combine visits to Russia, Mongolia, and China, offering a diverse and enriching travel experience.
