Russia plans to restore visa-free regime with China

Next year, Russian citizens will again be able to visit the Celestial Empire through the Primorsky Territory on the basis of a visa-free regime. This was announced by the head of the Primorsky Tourism Agency Arseniy Krepsky in his Telegram channel.

According to Krepsky, on February 8 this year, it is planned to renew the Agreement on visa-free group trips from Russia to China for tourists.



Recall that in February 2000 the governments of the Russian Federation and China signed an agreement on a visa-free regime to facilitate visits by Chinese and Russian tourists to these countries. At the same time, it should be noted that it was not about individual tourists, but about groups of 5 to 50 people sent by travel agencies of both states.

According to the Primorye official, the Interdepartmental Commission should first meet on February 8, 2023, which should decide on the restoration of the Agreement of February 29, 2000. At the moment, the technical side of the issue is being resolved, Krepsky added.

Recall that this month, the Chinese authorities gave the green light to the issuance of tourist visas to Russian travelers. And according to Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui, today there are no obstacles for Russians to visit China, except for problems with a shortage of flights.

        They will run in "groups of 5 to 50 people." What difference does it make to deserters - one at a time or in formation? If only the system was not in the Army.

            And I, Alexander, didn’t even say that they should be kept here with all their might and forcibly put into boots.

            But what he said was that they decided to run - let them run. Just don't let it go back. Let them go like Ahasuerus, before the Second Coming, wander around the world restless.

            I think that these escaped "about ..., about ..." will not arrange a "demographic hole" for us.

              Zoldat A, I completely agree with you about not letting it go back, but only at the top there is a different opinion, the Ministry of Figures is already casting a bait, they say everything must be done to return entih.

        The northern regions of China do not live very richly, you will come to Blagoveshchensk and look at the other side and everything will become clear to you and for how long they built this city. It's your Moscow and St. Petersburg that reach the level of China, and the rest of Russia is in a deep jo. Although with the policy that our president is pursuing regarding the Far East, these regions will soon be taken away from you and you will be in Moscow without natural resources. Drive along Lake Baikal, especially from the Buryat side, and everything will become clear to you.

      And why are the local cheers-"patriots" so frightened, afraid that instead of these people they will be taken and they will no longer have to fight on the couch?

    Well, that you don’t scare anyone with Covid, but for tourists without visas, it’s a useful thing.

    At first I thought about "creeping migration", about what our Far East will be in a few years and other unpleasant things.
    Then he took a calculator, counted and calmed down.
    If the Chinese cross our border at a speed of 1000 people per minute, they will walk for 26 years. laughing

    Very good, although long-awaited news. China is a very interesting country in terms of educational tourism. But I can’t understand what the catch is - why is the news on Military Review? what

        In general, I agree, but as a big fan of landscape and recreational tourism, I recommend that you type "Yunnan landscapes" in the search engine and honestly answer - is it really possible not to go to SUCH beauty? good

      It's really not clear what this news is doing here. Visa travel has long been allowed. They just opened for trips in groups, but that was before covid.
