Tourists between China and Kazakhstan will enjoy visa-free treatment from this week, according to the official WeChat account of China Consular Affairs on Thursday, which is expected to boost tourism and trade exchange between the two countries.
The rule, which will take effective on November 10,
said that Chinese and Kazakh nationals will be allowed to stay in each
other's country for no more than 30 days for single crossing and stay 90
days as part of a 180-day visa-free period.
It grants visa
exemption for citizens of both countries covering private affairs,
tourism, medical treatment, international transportation, transit, and
business purposes.
Recently, multiple countries have rolled out
preferential visa policies for Chinese travelers, aiming to facilitate
travel and promote economic and trade exchanges.
Last month, Sri
Lanka's cabinet approved a proposal of offering visa-free entry for
nationals from seven countries, including China, as a pilot project till
March 31 of 2024. Sri Lanka's tourism industry aims to attract two
million visitors in 2023, compared to the previous target of 1.5
million, Xinhua News Agency reported.
Tunisia implemented
visa-free entry for Chinese travelers, which was confirmed by the
Chinese Embassy in Tunisia on its official website on October 7. The
policy applies to Chinese individuals and groups traveling to Tunisia,
tourists are required to make hotel reservations and book air tickets
before entering the country.
Outside of Sri Lanka and Tunisia,
several other countries and regions have released similar policies for
Chinese visitors, including Thailand, Angola and Georgia.
In
September, Thailand approved a temporary visa waiver for visitors from
China and Kazakhstan during the year-end high season in support of its
vital tourism industry.
From September 24 to October 1, the first
week after Thailand announced visa implementation for Chinese visitors,
the number of Chinese tourists exceeded 100,000 in one week, a
significant increase of 72.49 percent from the previous week, citing a
report from thepaper.cn.
In pre-pandemic 2019, Chinese tourists accounted for about 28 percent of
the nearly 40 million foreign tourists to Thailand. Tourism revenue
accounts for about 12 percent of the country's GDP.
