+4! China Implements Visa-Free Policy for 4 MORE Countries Starting June 9

This new initiative will be effective from June 9, 2025, to June 8, 2026. It allows holders of ordinary passports from these nations to enter China without a visa for up to 30 days for purposes including business, tourism, family visits, cultural exchanges, and transit.

The move is part of China's broader strategy to facilitate cross-border exchanges and enhance international cooperation. With this policy, China completes full visa exemption coverage for all GCC member states, adding to the existing agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, which have enjoyed mutual visa-free travel with China since 2018.

"We warmly welcome more friends from GCC countries to experience the charm of China with a spontaneous journey," Mao added.
