Beijing: China on Friday announced visa-free entry for citizens of nine other countries to boost tourism and business travel to boost its lagging economy. Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said that starting November 30, tourists from Bulgaria, Romania, Malta, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Estonia, Latvia and Japan will be able to stay in China without a visa for 30 days.
The number of countries will be 38
After this new announcement by China, the number of countries included in the visa free scheme will increase to 38 from last year. Previously only three countries were allowed visa-free entry but this scheme ended during the Covid-19 global pandemic.
