To further facilitate exchanges between Chinese and foreign nationals, China has decided to expand the scope of visa-free countries, implementing a trial visa exemption policy for holders of ordinary passports from New Zealand, Australia, and Poland. From July 1, 2024, to December 31, 2025, individuals from the aforementioned countries with ordinary passports visiting China for business, tourism, family visits, and transit for no more than 15 days will be allowed visa-free entry. Those who do not meet the visa exemption criteria from the aforementioned countries will still need to obtain a Chinese visa before entry.

为进一步促进中外人员往来，中方决定扩大免签国家范围，对新西兰、澳大利亚、波兰3个国家持普通护照人员试行免签政策。2024年7月1日至2025年12月31日期间，上述国家持普通护照人员来华经商、旅游观光、探亲访友和过境不超过15天，可免签入境。上述国家不符合免签条件人员仍需在入境前办妥来华签证。
