Good news for Australian travellers wanting to visit China.
As from tomorrow no visaa will needed for stays of up to 30 days - meaning visits to Chinese consulates will be a thing of the past.
“From 0:00 on November 30th, 2024 to 24:00 on December 31st, 2025 of Beijing time, citizens holding ordinary passports of Australia traveling to China for business, tourism, family visit, transit and exchange purposes and with the duration of each single stay not exceeding 30 days, are eligible for visa-free entry policy,” the Chinese embassy in Canberra announced.
The switch from 15 days to 30 days has not affected the SmartTraveller advice level.
“We continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution in China,” the Australian government site says.
“As previously advised, authorities have detained foreigners on the grounds of 'endangering national security'. Australians may be at risk of arbitrary detention or harsh enforcement of local laws, including broadly defined National Security Laws.”
