China announced that Romanian citizens will be able to travel without visas to this country starting on November 30, 2024, News.ro reported.

China will expand its visa-free regime to include Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, Japan, and other countries starting from November 30, 2024, and ending on December 31, 2025, a Foreign Ministry spokesman in Beijing said on November 22.

China will also extend the visa-free stay from 15 days to 30 days for citizens of all 38 countries under its visa-free program, state broadcaster CCTV announced.

China has previously granted visa-free regimes to South Korea and some European countries to boost tourism and trade amid a declining economy.
