According to China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in order to further promote the exchange of people between China and foreign countries, and to serve high-quality development and high-level opening up to the outside world, China has decided to expand the scope of unilateral visa-free countries on a trial basis, and to implement the unilateral visa-free policy for holders of ordinary passports from six countries, namely, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Malaysia, on a trial basis.

During the period from 1 December 2023 to 30 November 2024, holders of ordinary passports from the above countries can enter China visa-free if they come to China for doing business, travelling, visiting relatives and friends, and transit for not more than 15 days. However, it should be noted that persons from the above countries who do not meet the conditions for visa-free entry still need to obtain visas for China before entering the country.
