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

          I leave for Shanghai next weekend(for work) but
          Im there for two weeks and have a couple free days.
          Is it worth visiting Beijing in those days off? Sort of lost on what to visit right now

          • jowu15 on 23/11/2024 - 12:03

            @DoUKnowTheMuffinMan: Beijing has much more to see in terms of history, culture than Shanghai. Its only 5 hours by high speed railway. In the meantime, there are lots to see around Shanghai area like previous posts of mentioned Suzhou and Hangzhou and Nanjing

      There is a lot of Chinese CCP lovers on this forum who still have more allegiance to the country they left than the country they fled to. It’s interesting and concerning. Especially they come out on Tesla posts praising BYD or hating on Tesla for no reason. But when it comes to BYD it’s the best car ever created and praising China for dumping their cars with no guarantee any warranty will ever be honoured.

        Why pick on forum users and bots, when you'll find the AU Government does not block agricultural land and ports going to foreign owners (through sales or leases).

        • mustang87401 on 23/11/2024 - 13:10

          That’s different as it’s hard to legally implement a specific country ban when we live in a capitalist free market society. The opposite is oppressive dictatorship like china who block any foreigner from owning anything. I understand and want to ban them from owning anything but easier said than done.

        Are you by any chance from Hong Kong? It's just that the notion that "china is disliked by everyone especially its neighbours" is so commonly quoted by Hong Kong separatists it's getting a bit old. It can't be more wrong, you are full of sinophobia so you would to your core be against everything that had anything to do with china. The truth is it's a competitive world and if you look closely, studied world's culture and history, all countries at certain point of history disliked or still dislike other countries especially their neighbours, it's everywhere (in fact countries can do much worse than dislike, they can go to wars and commit genocide etc.). Apart from historical reasons (elephant in the room), China is especially competitive and it had to grow so fast, it's only natural it had upset its neighbours somewhat during the process.

          Ask that question to the boys’ parents that was stabbed to death. Or the parents of the kindergartener that was in the bus. Or the families of the three American teachers that was attacked.

          China promote hate towards other nations, alter history and misinformation to its citizens.

          Upset other counties along the way, lol just like how the foreign affairs person speaks at the press. China is the safest country in the world. All responsibility lies with others. China is perfect

      Been critical of a political party is casual racism. You must have been exposed to the radioactive water from Fukushima. It’s only been a few months since they released the water. Better stock up on salt and stop eating seafood. But even the Chinese have started to import Japanese seafood again. After they declared it unsafe for human consumption.

    In Thailand I've encountered a scam where it's free/cheap to go someplace, but to return it costs an arm and a leg. Is this the same sort of deal where you'll be paying to leave?

    • John on 23/11/2024 - 10:10

      Very very slim maybe even non existent. I can only think a scam if you take a taxi and pay cash, they would ask you to pay more than you should. But if you book everything via Didi the price is all agreed and you pay in the app, so they can’t do it

              @Lbara: that's because China is acting like a big bully. And I believe Taiwan will be, in the not too far future. By the way, China only became a member of the UN in 1971. This doesn't mean China wasn't an independent country before that. Therefore, UN membership is not relevant to the discussion of Taiwan's independence.

                China is a geographical word, like Taiwan.

                Well, PRC is a country; ROC is a district (hard to say if independent or not).
