List of countries from which China accepts visa-free travel
China has made the unilateral decision to expand its visa-free policy to new nations on a trial basis. This entails giving regular passport holders from six nations—France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Malaysia—visa-free status.
According to the ministry, ordinary passport holders from those countries who wish to enter China for transit, business, tourist, or family visits may do so without a visa between December 1, 2023, and November 30, 2024.
Pakistan hasn’t been put on the list, though. Prior to now, Singaporean and Bruneian nationals traveling to China for up to 15 days for transit, business, or pleasure were exempt.
