China’s opening-up policy accelerates further in 2026, with comprehensive upgrades to inbound facilitation, further eliminating barriers for global business professionals attending exhibitions and conducting trade negotiations in China. Starting from February 17, visa-free entry is now available to ordinary passport holders from the United Kingdom and Canada, while multiple Central Asian countries have also been added to the visa-free list. Travelers can now enter China with just a passport and stay for up to 30 days—no prior visa application required, enabling truly hassle-free business travel.

Moreover, visa-free transit policy stays for dozens of countries across Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America have been significantly extended to 240 hours (10 days). Additional ports of entry and eligible regions have also been introduced, allowing international buyers to attend exhibitions during transit, making cross-border sourcing more flexible and convenient for seamless transactions.

From simplified visa procedures to expanded port access, from extended stay durations to broader geographic coverage, these measures comprehensively facilitate international business professionals coming to China for exhibitions, sourcing, and networking. No complicated paperwork, no long waiting times—just a passport, and you’re all set to go!
