China will allow British and Canadian citizens to enter without a visa from February 17
The SCMP newspaper cited information from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stating that the new regulation will officially take effect from February 17 and last until the end of this year.
Accordingly, British and Canadian citizens holding ordinary passports are allowed to stay in China for a maximum of 30 days without needing a visa for purposes such as business, tourism, visiting relatives, or participating in exchange activities.
Previously, Beijing had applied a visa exemption policy for Australian and New Zealand citizens from July 2024.
