Is China visa-free?

From February 1 2023, China and Malaysia will be exempted from visas.

In order to promote the high-quality development and high-level opening of personnel exchange services between China and foreign countries, China decided to try to expand the scope of unilateral visa-free countries and try out the unilateral visa-free policy for ordinary passport holders in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia. During the period from 65438+February 2023 to 65438+October 30, 2024/kloc-0, holders of ordinary passports of the above countries can come to China for business, sightseeing, visiting relatives and friends, and the transit time does not exceed 15 days, and they can be exempted from visas.

From February 1 2023, citizens of China will enter the country visa-free within 30 days. This move is to welcome the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Malaysia and China in 2024.
