China Extends Visa-Free Entry Policy for Many Countries Until End of 2026

China has extended its visa-free entry policy for many eligible countries until the end of 2026.

This is useful news for travellers because visa-free access can make short trips easier. However, the rule applies only to specific nationalities and specific travel purposes.

Travellers should check whether their passport is eligible, how long they can stay, and whether their purpose of travel fits the visa-free rules. Tourism, business, family visits and transit may be treated differently depending on the policy.

For Ukrainians, Romanians and Georgians, the key advice is simple: do not assume the same rule applies to everyone. Always check by passport nationality, not by country of residence.

Visa rules can change. Always check the official website before applying.
