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

        You clearly haven't even been to Asia much less China. You don't know what south east Asians think of each other's countries. What do Japan and Korea think of each other?

        You're clearly someone who has stayed all your life in Australia. Go and see the world mate. Stop reading all those echo chambers.

          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.

            @mustang87401: I'm quite literally born in south east Asia and have travelled around.

            • mustang87401 on 23/11/2024 - 18:16

              @WavyClock: Then you would know how south east asians dislike china more than anybody.

          Yeah you're right, the whole of South East Asia love it when China tries to claim the entire South China Sea for themselves.

      • nightmarez3k on 23/11/2024 - 19:00

        Japanese don't hate any tourist nor America for bombing with nukes and whatever else.

  • strupper2003 on 23/11/2024 - 14:23

    Went to the must visit places, Great Wall, Terracotta Warrior and Shanghai in April. Planning to go to "less" touristy places next trip like Chongqing and that Avatar place.

    Love all the “china bad” posts, from people sitting on their Chinese made furniture, next to their Chinese made fan, on their Chinese made phone.

      Do you always resort to logical fallacies when you can't defend your country's savagery?

      Once again, why should anyone visit a nation that supports Russia's invasion of Ukraine?

      • mustang87401 on 23/11/2024 - 14:36

        All they can say made in china made in china. Actually I purposely bought a made in Australia couch because the ones made in china fall apart very quickly. Never looked back since. Most production is moved out of china at the moment anyway towards Vietnam, Thailand so it’ll change very soon.

      • nightmarez3k on 23/11/2024 - 16:01

        As savage as using Agent Orange on Vietnamese.

        Depleted Uranium on Iraqi's.

        Nuclear weapons on Japan.

        Illegal embargo of Cuba.

        Wow Russia is much more savage than America.

        I can't wait until America is humbled and the dollar collapses.

    • pebblewave on 23/11/2024 - 14:35

      You’re right, nobody should ever criticise China

        Criticize China?! What kind of evil person would do such a thing?!

    The good: Cheap, cheap groceries, cheap labour, no tip.
    The bad: Most people don't speak English at all, poor service quality. Crazy drivers everywhere.
    Chinese keep hating foreigners these years, except Russian fathers and Muslim brothers.
    But as an Australian at least you are a little bit safer than Americans and Japanese.

    BTW I came from China, just a objective appraisal.

      Yeah base on my recent visit I agree. Also for an English speaker it is hard to navigate thier platforms to find good places to eat/visit. Booking is also a pain. They really do need to improve these to make it more visitor friendly.

    • louuisc on 23/11/2024 - 14:44

      This is simply wrong information. China has been pretty welcoming to westerners despite the political tension.

      You came from China but your comments are totally biased.

        they are stuck in the china of 20-30 years ago, the new gen coming out of china who can access twitter/global media is much more globalised and balanced with their world view having access to both sides of media. much more in touch with the real world than a lot of posters here I might add

      • ZeroEclipse on 23/11/2024 - 16:02

        Maybe you should ask the Japanese boy killed in Shenzhen or four Americans stabbed in Jilin. People from English speaking countries and Japan are not welcomed in China.

        • TightAl on 23/11/2024 - 16:11

          Millions of cauasian execs flying into China every year, yep definitely not welcomed LOL.
          Get a grip.

          • ZeroEclipse on 23/11/2024 - 16:22

            @TightAl: Millions of Palestinians live in Israel. They must be particularly popular.

            • nightmarez3k on 23/11/2024 - 19:15

              @ZeroEclipse: You are comparing poor suffering people of Palestinian in the worlds largest open air prison to tourists come on man!

        China has not been welcoming at all. I have been many times and i would consider it on average the most rude hostile people I ever encountered. They don’t like helping foreigners and mostly don’t speak English. It’s the worst in Asia by far.

        • May4th on 23/11/2024 - 19:12

          I would hope so, to make sure the feeling is mutual

        • nightmarez3k on 23/11/2024 - 19:16

      Do elaborate.
      How are these people "brain washed"?
      How does not wishing to support a country sponsoring Russia's invasion evidence of "brain washing"?

      You are talking about traveling to an autocratic nation that is sponsoring a violent war in a sovereign nation, and you're suggesting people are brainwashed for merely disapproving. You're a joke.

    So many Sinophobic people hating on China.

    CCP is an improvement vs the imperial monarchy in charge at the time.

    It has come a long way. But people are still comparing it to Murderica built on genocide just like Australia. Real genocide where the original inhabitants become a minority 1% or less of entire population.

    China is a lot safer than America and I wouldn't visit America if you gave me a free ticket.

    You all need to look in the mirror before casting stones.

  • BluebirdV on 23/11/2024 - 16:42

    Would it be hard to get a visa for my Filipino wife with permanent Australian residency? Given tensions between China and the Philippines at the moment?

    • mustang87401 on 23/11/2024 - 18:21

      There are no tensions. China is invading internationally recognised water of Phillipines. UN/ international courts have ruled on these matters many times and ALWAYS in Phillipines favour. China is a very agressive bully.

  • Pufff on 23/11/2024 - 18:04

    Went last year for 3 months for work and travelled 11 cities. I can fairly say china is way ahead of Australia Korea and Taiwan in tech, infrastructure, e-commerce and major investments. Don’t read what’s on the net and go see for yourself when you have a chance to be open minded.

    • mustang87401 on 23/11/2024 - 18:27

      Definitely chinese… 🇨🇳 as a non Chinese person china is not better than Korea in any way. People are much more friendly, everything much more accessible, people speak way more English. Foreigner friendly locals. In china most people don’t want to speak or interact or even help tourists. If you are non Chinese you can’t use any of the e-commerce or digital wallets and even getting a SIM card takes half a day. Everything much easier in Korea.

    This is great news but do you still need to register or notify some Australian department when going overseas?
