Russia Opens Its Doors to Chinese Citizens Without Visa

SadaNews - The Kremlin announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree allowing Chinese citizens to enter Russia without the need for a visa for up to 30 days, for tourism and business purposes, starting today until September 14, 2026.

The decree clarified that the decision does not include certain categories such as journalists, students, and workers in the transportation and logistics sectors. This step comes as part of the exchanges between Moscow and Beijing, after China previously decided to allow Russians to enter its territory without a visa for 30 days starting from mid-September last year for a full year.
