BEIJING, May 28 (KUNA) -- China will implement a visa-free policy for ordinary passport holders from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain from June 9, 2025, to June 8, 2026, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning.
The state-run CTGN quoted the spokesperson as saying that ordinary passport holders from the four countries can be exempted from requiring visas to enter China and stay for up to 30 days for business, tourism, family visits, exchanges, and transit purposes.
Together with the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, which were granted visa exemptions in 2018, this extends full visa-free coverage for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, according to Mao. (end)
