‘Hassle-free' travel under agreement
PETALING JAYA: The China-Malaysia Mutual Visa Exemption Agreement inked last month will allow citizens of both countries to stay visa-free for up to 90 days cumulatively over six months in either country, said the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Malaysia. However, it said the agreement only allows stays of up to 30 days for each entry into either country. The embassy clarified that the 90-day period does not include time spent in China under a visa, a residence permit, other visa documents, or the APEC Business Travel Card. It said the agreement will be valid for five years, after which it will automatically be extended for another five years. It is expected to come into force once both countries complete the necessary domestic procedures. 'The agreement, which was signed during President Xi Jinping's visit to Malaysia, will enable hassle-free travel of citizens from both nations and usher in another 'Golden 50 Years' for both countries,' said the embassy. It added that the agreement will further promote people-to-people exchanges, enhance mutual understanding and deepen multi-sector cooperation between both countries and their citizens. 'It will mark a new step forward in advancing the high-level strategic efforts under the China-Malaysia Community with a Shared Future,' it said.
