First Russian visitor lands in Shenzhen under new China visa-free policy

01:02

On September 15, China's visa-waiver trial for Russian passport holders went live – and the first traveller just touched down! At 12:12 p.m., Bakytzhan Adylbekov from Russia arrived in China visa-free from Dubai. From September 15, 2025, to September 14, 2026, Russians can enter China without a visa for tourism, business, family visits and transit purposes for stays of up to 30 days. Travel just got easier – and cooler.
