On September 15th, Shanghai immigration management police assisted Russian nationals in filling out their entry cards. On September 15th, it was the first day of China's trial of visa free policy for Russia, and multiple ports welcomed the first batch of passengers holding Russian ordinary passports to enter the country visa free after the implementation of the new policy. To further facilitate the exchange of personnel between China and foreign countries, China has decided to expand the scope of visa free countries. From September 15, 2025 to September 14, 2026, a visa free policy will be implemented for Russian passport holders. Russian passport holders who come to China for business, tourism, visiting relatives and friends, exchange visits, or transit for no more than 30 days are exempt from visa requirements. (New Society)
