China Confirms 30-Day Visa-Free Entry for Russian Nationals through 2026
China’s Foreign Ministry has confirmed that Russian citizens can keep entering visa-free for visits of up to 30 days until at least 14 September 2026. The extension secures travel plans for businesses on the busy Sino-Russian corridor and is expected to push Russian visitor numbers above pre-pandemic levels this year. Work-related activities beyond short consultations remain excluded, so employers must check visa classifications case-by-case.
