China Resumes Visa Issuance to Tourists.

03/14/2023 13

China is set to resume issuing visas to foreign tourists for the first time since the Covid pandemic broke.

According to authorities, foreign offices can process applications for Chinese visas, from 15 March.

The major easing of restrictions comes after Beijing declared victory over the virus and retreated from a zero-Covid strategy that has hurt its economy.

The removal of the last cross-border restrictions imposed to tackle Covid marks a major step towards the resumption of normal life in post-pandemic China.
