China extends 10-day visa-free transit policy to Indonesia

China granted Indonesian citizens a visa-free transit stay of up to 10 days on Thursday, expanding the countries that enjoy the policy to 55.

China's visa-free transit policy applies to 60 ports in the country.

Citizens from the 55 countries holding valid international travel documents and interline tickets with confirmed dates and seats to a third country or region can enter China visa-free at any of the 60 ports, and stay in designated areas for as long as 10 days.

These travelers are allowed to engage in tourism, business, exchange visits or family visits.

Expanding the policy to Indonesia will help boost the good momentum of China-Indonesia cooperation, and make bilateral trade and investment more convenient, an official with the National Immigration Administration said.
