China Visa-Free Entries Surge in Third Quarter of 2026

Non-Chinese spouses and family members in Denmark and Sweden can visit China without a visa.

China's 30-day visa-free policy now covers 50 countries.

This policy makes family trips and business travel much simpler.

China's National Immigration Administration released official data on October 20, 2026.

Foreign nationals made nearly 9 million visa-free entries in the third quarter of 2026.

This represents a 24.1 percent increase year-on-year.

Visa-free entries accounted for 77.5 percent of all foreign arrivals from July to September.

The expanded rules help mixed-nationality families in Denmark and Sweden travel easily.

Colleagues can also travel together without waiting for prior visa approvals.

According to Global Times, cross-border travel is now significantly easier.
