Aussies get visa-free travel to China
Australia is next up to get visa free travel access to China.
Fresh after announcing visa free access for New Zealand travellers, Chinese Premier Li Qiang flew across the Tasman and offered the same.
Li is in Canberra for trade talks.
The visa relaxation gives Aussies up to 15 days in China without the need for a $110 single-entry tourist visa.
It is valid for tourism, business or family visits.
It is a unilateral measure China has taken and joins other countries such as New Zealand, Singapore, France, Japan, Spain and Thailand.
“We agreed to provide each other with reciprocal access to five-year multiple entry visas for tourism, business and visiting family members — so as to better facilitate personal exchanges, China will also include Australia in its Visa Waiver Program,” Li said.
