Why is China passport visa-free in Australia?

Because China's national strength is getting stronger and stronger!

But this is only a misleading news content: the Australian government announced: "From now on! China passports will always enjoy the same treatment as Canadian and American passports! When China passport enters Australia, you don't have to queue up for enquiries and go through customs directly! "

The Australian government finally couldn't help it, and the Australian Immigration Bureau announced the actual situation.

65438+1October 3 1No. 1 1 dot the Immigration and Border Protection Department? (Immigrants) sent such a tweet on social media.

Content: Whether you come by plane or by broom, if you are not an Australian citizen, you must have a visa to enter Australia! The content of this tweet seems to point to something in some way, which is suspected to respond to the false news that has been heated up in China recently.

This only means that when China citizens enter Australia, they can go through the self-service customs clearance window instead of the manual entry customs clearance window.

The relevant person in charge of the Australian Consulate General in Chengdu said that due to the continuous improvement of the quality of China tourists in recent years, it is reasonable for the Australian government to give China a passport.

At present, the self-service customs clearance system has been installed in the following eight international airports: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Perth, Adelaide, Cairns and Darwin International Airport.

The person in charge also stressed that this does not mean that China will get visa-free or landing visa policy in the near future, and all rumors on the Internet are misreading.

It is worth noting that this "SmartGate system" is currently only open to passports of 15 countries.

15 countries (regions) are: Australia, China, Canada, France, China, China, Hong Kong, Ireland, Korea, Japan, China, Macau, New Zealand, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States;

It can be seen that all countries enjoying this treatment are members of developed economies, and China, as a developing China country, is unique in this list! After arriving in Australia 10 hours by plane, there is no need to drag big bags and small bags in long queues for investigation and inquiry.
