China Grants 90-Day Visa-Free Access To Malaysians For Short-Term Visits
Malaysians will enjoy visa-free entry into China for short-term visits totalling up to 90 days within 180 days, effective July 17, under a new bilateral agreement.
According to a statement from the Chinese Embassy in Malaysia, the Malaysia-China Mutual Visa Exemption Agreement allows Malaysian and Chinese passport holders to enter, exit or transit through each other's countries without a visa for stays of up to 30 days per visit.
The visa-free arrangement covers purposes including tourism, family visits, business, cultural exchange, personal matters, medical treatment and travel as a crew member.
However, the cumulative duration of stay must not exceed 90 days within any 180 days, the embassy noted.
Travellers intending to stay longer than 30 days or those planning to work, study, engage in media activities or undertake other pre-approved matters must apply for the appropriate visa before entry. Related
