BEIJING, Nov. 22 -- China has decided to apply the visa-free policy to nine more countries on a trial basis, a foreign ministry spokesperson said on Friday at a daily press briefing.

In order to further facilitate personnel exchanges between China and other countries, China has decided to expand its visa-free arrangement to include more countries, said spokesperson Lin Jian.

He noted that from Nov. 30, 2024, to Dec. 31, 2025, visa exemption will be applied to ordinary passport holders from Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Malta, Estonia, Latvia and Japan on a trial basis.
