According to statistics from the National Immigration Administration on January 1, 2023, since China implemented a unilateral visa free policy for individuals holding ordinary passports from six countries, including France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Malaysia, as of December 31, 2023, a total of 214000 people from these six countries have come to China, an increase of 28.5% compared to November. Among them, a total of 118000 people holding ordinary passports have entered China without visas, accounting for 55.1% of the total number of people entering the six countries during the same period. The reporter learned from the National Immigration Administration that, based on the reasons for entry, a total of 91000 people, accounting for 77.3%, came to China for sightseeing, leisure, and business activities with ordinary passports and visa free entry. With this policy, Nanning Port has welcomed a large number of inbound tourists. According to data from Nanning Border Inspection Station, as of December 31, 2023, a total of 121 foreign tourist groups have been inspected and released, with nearly 2800 people, and a maximum of 6 tourist groups entering and exiting the country simultaneously on a single day. On December 2nd, flight AK168 from Kuala Lumpur landed smoothly, and the first batch of 54 Malaysian passengers who enjoyed this policy gradually entered the border inspection hall of Nanning Wuwei International Airport. Passengers have expressed that the entry procedures have become more convenient, and they will often come to China in the future to enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food. As of December 31st, since the implementation of the visa free entry policy for one month, more than 12000 personnel from relevant countries have entered China through visa free entry at Beijing Port. At around 13:20 on December 24, 2023, the flight from Rome to Beijing safely landed at Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital Airport. Nearly 270 passengers have arrived at the entry hall one after another, orderly queuing up for inspection under the guidance of the immigration management police on duty. Thomas, an Italian passenger who comes to Beijing for business activities, is a frequent passenger on this flight. The visa free policy is extremely beneficial for him and his colleagues. He said, "We don't have to apply for a Chinese visa one month in advance each time, which saves time, effort, and money." German passenger Maxim, who booked Chinese flights at the first time, said, "With more convenient entry policies, China will definitely attract more global tourists." The relevant person in charge of the National Immigration Administration explained that to ensure the smooth implementation of the visa free entry policy, To further promote the exchange and cooperation between Chinese and foreign personnel, the National Immigration Administration has deployed national border inspection agencies to prepare sufficient police force and open sufficient inspection channels at each port to ensure efficient and smooth customs clearance. At the same time, it has guided the entry and exit management departments of local public security organs to provide convenience for visa free entry personnel to stop residence in accordance with the law and regulations. Next, the National Immigration Administration will further optimize the policies and measures for entry and exit management services, collaborate with relevant departments, and further facilitate foreigners to come to China for business, study, tourism, work, and life.
