China's New Visa-Free Policy: A One-Year Trial for Latin American Citizens China has announced a groundbreaking initiative to boost tourism and international relations. Starting June 1st, 2025, citizens from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay will be able to visit China without a visa for up to 30 days. This one-year trial program, announced by Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian, aims to simplify cross-border travel and strengthen ties with Latin America. "To further facilitate cross-border travel, China decided to expand the visa-waiver program," Lin stated in a press briefing. The policy applies to ordinary passport holders for tourism, business, family visits, and other purposes. This move signifies China's continued commitment to opening up its borders and engaging more deeply with the international community. The trial period will allow the government to assess the program's effectiveness and potentially expand it in the future. The initiative is expected to have a positive impact on tourism and economic exchange between China and the participating Latin American nations.
