The World and China Reconnected!
China has reopened its borders to overseas travellers since Jan 8 this year and welcomes travelers from the world. Health code nor quarantine are no longer required for all travelers to China.
Starting from Feb 6, cross border travel between the mainland, Hong Kong and Macau has fully resumed.
Starting from Mar 1, travellers from Thailand, Indonesia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Cambodia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Hungary, and Laos by direct flight to China do not need to show negative PCR test certificates prior to flight departure. Relevant authorities stationed abroad have already resume examining and issuing various types of Chinese visas, including travel visa since March 15. At the same time, the visa-free entry into Guangdong province is also resumed for foreigners in groups from Hong Kong and Macau.
Meanwhile, EU, South Korea, US and Australia have also phased out PCR COVID tests for travellers from China. Negative pre-departure PCR test certificates are no longer required.
The dropping of travel restrictions would provide more convenience to overseas visitors for their trip to CHINAPLAS in Shenzhen, PR China.
