Holders of ordinary passports issued by Singapore will be exempted from visa requirements for a stay of up to 30 days in the PRC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement released last week, a leading business travel firm, FCM Travel Asia, said it “foresees an increase in business travel as China and Singapore” once the 30-day visa-free entry agreement takes effect on 9 February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FCM Greater China general manager Calvin Xie commented: \u201cIt has been a year since China, one of the top markets in the world for business travel spending, re-opened its borders since the pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have been looking forward to easing visa requirements between China and Singapore as China has been Singapore\u2019s largest trading partner since 2013, with bilateral trading volume at USD55.6 billion for the first half of 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cChinese companies are also expanding their footprints globally with notable success in Southeast Asia, and with Singapore known as a regional tourism hub for both companies and tourists, we foresee an increase in business travel,\u201d Xie concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
