Thank you Scrooge McDeal for the original 15 day deal.

Good news for travelers from the many countries benefiting from China’s unilateral visa-free policy: from November 30, 2024, visa-free stays in China will be extended to 30 days, instead of the current 15.

Also good news for me as I was planning a bit longer trip to China early next year and was dreading the visa application process.

These are now the current countries enjoying the 30 day visa free entry
Andorra Australia Austria Belgium
Brunei Bulgaria Croatia Cyprus
Denmark Estonia Finland France
Germany Greece Hungary Iceland
Ireland Italy Japan Latvia
Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malaysia Malta
Monaco Montenegro Netherlands New Zealand
North Macedonia Norway Poland Portugal
Romania Slovakia Slovenia South Korea
Spain Switzerland
Travel Asia China Visitor Visa

            @spc12go: not really, the anti-china posts don't usually discriminate if you care to trawl through it. also easy to justify casual racism by linking anything you don't like to CCP.

        This is not a bargain, it belongs to the forum. Our passport allows us to travel to 189 countries. Why not list them all as individual posts?

        • YoursTruly on 23/11/2024 - 12:45

          Fair enough - it’s a little on the PSA - but can also be seen as a (current) saving to obtain a visa to potential travellers.

          Maybe take the initiative to list the countries?

Why are Chinese migrating out of china in the millions literally crossing the most deadly desert in the world to reach the United States illegally when it’s this utopia. It’s so ridicules, and they wonder why nobody likes them lol

    • May4th on 23/11/2024 - 13:19

      the truth is most people don't care about the politics and want to see the world free from political ideologies and the votes reflects this. if you choose to believe the CCP bots have invaded ozb because we are a critically important political platform and that all the 200 odd posters/voters that don't agree with you are bots then good for you if it helps you feel better

      USA is not comparable to china in any way. You have checks and balances in the United States that prevent one person from doing exactly what xi Jinping has done in China. Trumps first term was actually uneventful despite what everyone said before. The second term will be too. Meanwhile china is in full blown economic meltdown because of the incompetence of xi jinping and the government intervening in the economy which is always the downfall of all socialist countries

      • crentist on 23/11/2024 - 14:24

        Hopefully it will be uneventful, but he spent his first term pushing out experienced people who performed the checks and balances. Up to the point of inciting riots to block his own VP.

        Everyone joining him for a second term is on board with what happened there, so they won't be getting in the way quite as much this time.

      Russia’s GDP is only equivalent to that of Guangdong Province in China. Without China’s support, it would have been impossible for Russia to sustain its invasion war until now. Without the war, there would be no need to pay such high fuel prices or deal with inflation.

      The invasion of a nuclear-armed country in the 21st century into a European region will have a massive negative impact on the global economy and people’s lives.

      Yes very true and nice bringing that up. The car rampage and school killings due to exam stress is a great example of the great unraveling of the Chinese economy. Many economists predicted this as the government is intervening so much in the local economy it always ends up in a huge crash.

    E mindful tjat you could be rejected at the immigration at the airport if you do not have very clear why you are coming to China. It already happened. So, plan it well.

    Also, it is required to report your residential address to local police offices, unless you stay at hotels, which would aotomatically report to local police office.

    • mustang87401 on 23/11/2024 - 14:15

      True, very hostile atmosphere of having to be registered at every accomodation like some felon out on probation. Another good reason I don’t go. At the airport they pretend you are entering some holy land, when the departure lane is filled with people running away from china.

          I’ve probably been to china and Asian countries more than 99% of Australians including all major Chinese cities and I can tell you unequivocally everyone is united in their dislike of Chinese people and China. Yea Koreans dislike Japanese but that’s from a conflict different to from what china is doing right now. Wolf diplomacy and all that. It’s nothing to do with Chinese tourists abhorrent behaviour and their illegal invasion into Philippines territory which they do by the way to many other countries like Korea, Japan, Taiwan through illegal fishing vessels and military patrols.

                @nightmarez3k: That's just simple truth, if you can read Chinese, look at Weibo/Red, most of Chinese want to kill everyone in America, England, Japan…

                  @ZeroEclipse: You can find any number of stupid things said on social media if you go looking for them regardless of East or West, so this isn't anything special or new as you think it is.

                  Nobody in the general public with a sound mind wants to hurt anybody else, native or otherwise and I have relatives in both sides of the fold who visit each other regularly.

                  They all agree that China has done amazingly in the last 30 years and all it took was sound long term planning from the government and singular focus from the people to achieve that life.

            I have been to china many times over the years and all over Asia for business and leisure. Probably way more than you but that’s fine I don’t need to convince you
