China Reports 23.7 Million Visa-Free Foreign Entries in 2026

Traveling to China with foreign family members from Stockholm is getting easier.

China's National Immigration Administration announced new travel data on September 10, 2026.

Foreign nationals made 61.29 million cross-border trips between January and August 2026.

This marks a 19.5 percent increase from the previous year.

Visa-free travel covered 23.72 million foreign entries during this period.

That figure accounts for 77.6 percent of all foreign arrivals.

The growth follows 30-day visa waiver expansions for European citizens.

This policy facilitates travel for families with foreign spouses or foreign-born children.

According to China Daily, the expanded visa-free regime continues to operate smoothly.
