Irish travellers get visa-free entry to China

China has again extended its visa-free policy to two more European nations.

Travellers from Ireland have been added to the visa-free list as have Swiss nationals.

It is a move to further boost inbound tourism.

In December China introduced visa-free entry for nationals of France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain.

It also gave Malaysia travelers vis exempt status.

China government officials announced the visa-free expansion for Irish and Swiss tourists at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Visa-free entry is for up to 15 days.

It is a pilot program which initially lasts for one year.

China only fully reopened its borders a year ago and is still down on pre-pandemic levels.
