Move over, jet lag—China’s new visa-free policy is sparking a travel and business boom! 🚀 In December 2023, over 214,000 visitors from France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Malaysia entered the country, marking a 28.5% jump compared to November. The policy, launched December 1, lets ordinary passport holders skip visa hassles, and it’s already paying off: 55% of December’s entries were visa-free!
🌐 From Paris to Kuala Lumpur, travelers and entrepreneurs are seizing the moment. Nearly 91,000 visa-free entries were for tourism and business, while cities like Nanning saw a surge—121 travel groups (2,800+ people) arrived there last month. Beijing welcomed over 12,000 visa-free visitors by New Year’s Eve.
📈 The National Immigration Administration (NIA) promises smoother entry-exit policies ahead, making it easier for global professionals to work, study, and explore. Whether you’re a K-pop fan chasing trends or a startup founder eyeing Asian markets, China’s doors are swinging wider. ✨
