China to Resume Short-Term Visa Exemptions for Japanese Citizens by November 2024, First Since March 2020
Nov 22, 2024, 03:28 AM
China's Ministry of Commerce announced plans to expand its visa-free policy, including the resumption of short-term visa exemptions for Japanese citizens. This decision, which aims to facilitate travel and promote trade, follows a suspension of such exemptions since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Reports indicate that the Chinese government is in the final stages of adjusting the visa exemption process, with an official announcement expected as early as November 2024. The move is part of China's broader strategy to enhance its visa policies, which currently include agreements with 157 countries and regions. The resumption of these exemptions is anticipated to improve bilateral relations and boost tourism between China and Japan.
