Print Edition
CHINA and Canada have reached an agreement on granting visas to each other’s citizens with a validity period of up to 10 years, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said yesterday.
The new visa policy will take effect from today.
He said China signed visa exemption or facilitation agreements with 24 countries last year, equal to the total number in the past four years.
Chinese passport holders can now travel to more than 50 countries and territories without visas or by obtaining visas on arrival.
Last year, Chinese people made more than 100 million outbound visits and there are over 20,000 Chinese enterprises doing business overseas, as well as millions of Chinese nationals working and living in different parts of the world, Wang said.
The ministry has set up an around-the-clock hotline (12308) to provide consular protection services for Chinese nationals, Wang said, and there had been more than 30,000 phone calls worldwide in the six months since it opened.
