Hi, foreign friends,

As the number of countries that qualify for visa-free entry policies to China continues to increase, more overseas tourists are traveling to China. In the first seven months of 2024, the number of foreign visitors to China soared 129.9 percent year-on-year to 17.25 million, according to the National Immigration Administration. Meanwhile, 846,000 port visas were issued to foreign nationals, up 183 percent year-on-year.

In April, to facilitate foreign business expatriates’ work and life in China, a query service A Guide to Working and Living in China as Business Expatriates (2024 edition) has been launched.
