Hold onto your passports, globetrotters! The Chinese mainland is rolling out a major upgrade for Taiwan residents traveling across the Strait. Starting soon, all eligible ports will offer on-arrival document services—making spontaneous trips easier than ever. 🎉
What’s Changing?
Taiwan residents can now apply for a single-entry Taiwan Compatriot Permit upon landing, whether arriving directly from the island of Taiwan or via hubs like Hong Kong or Macao. No more pre-trip paperwork hassles! 📄➡️🗑️
Why It Matters
Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the State Council’s Taiwan Affairs Office, called the move a win for ‘convenient, secure travel’ and ‘peaceful cross-strait development.’ Think smoother business trips, family reunions, and cultural exchanges—all while boosting regional ties. 🤝
Details on eligible ports and policies will drop soon, so stay tuned! ✈️🌍
