Hold onto your passports, globetrotters! China and Malaysia just announced an extension of their mutual visa exemption policy, making cross-border travel smoother than ever. The agreement, confirmed in a joint statement Thursday, lets citizens from both countries enter visa-free for tourism, business, or family visits.
Why it matters:
Boost for entrepreneurs: Easier business trips between Asia’s economic powerhouses.
Tourism perks: From Kuala Lumpur’s skyline to Beijing’s Great Wall, exploration just got simpler.
Regional ties: Strengthens China-ASEAN collaboration at a time when travel is rebounding post-pandemic.
This move aligns with China’s recent efforts to expand visa-free access to boost international exchanges. Malaysia is now among over 20 countries enjoying such agreements with the Chinese mainland.
