China reopens 15-day visa-free travel to Singapore residents
China will allow visa-free travel for Singaporeans again.
It resumes the 15-day visa-free stay this week for Singapore passport holders for business, tourism and family visits.
It has been halted since the Covid pandemic.
“On Wednesday, the Chinese government will resume the 15-day visa-free policy the Chinese embassy to Singapore announced.
“Visas which have been issued to Singaporean citizens are still valid and applications that have been lodged before will be processed normally.”
Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs lauded the decision to reinstate the visa-free facility.
“This will facilitate people and business flows and pave the way for deeper bilateral cooperation,” the ministry said.
China currently offers up to 30 days visa-free exemptions to nationals of the UAE, Qatar, Maldives and Fiji for certain non-tourism purposes such as business and education.
