The number of foreigners entering and exiting through Wuxi has reached over 91,000, a year-on-year increase of 245%. Among them, more than 10,000 foreigners entered without a visa and temporarily transited, 16.4 times more than last year, with tourism and visiting relatives and friends being the main purposes of entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of this year, Wuxi introduced the &#8220;10 Measures to Facilitate the Entry and Stay of Foreign Nationals in Wuxi,&#8221; building six scenarios of convenience for foreign nationals, including entry and exit, payment, business work, living travel, consumption, and education and medical care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After formally implementing the 240-hour transit visa-free policy, Wuxi will further improve the customs clearance guarantee services. Specific measures include scientifically adjusting the layout of the entry site and delineating the transit visa-free procedure processing area. Wuxi will manage and serve the stay of foreigners in China and coordinate the transition between the transit visa-free policy and port visa requirements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city will publicise the 240-hour transit visa-free policy in multiple channels and languages and promote the transit visa-free policy to foreign chambers of commerce and travel agencies based in Wuxi and overseas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(Source: Wuxi Immigration)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WUXI, China, 20 December 2024: China has expanded its visa-free transit policy, extending the maximum amount of time foreigners are allowed to stay in the country under the policy to 240 hours from the previous 72 or 144 hours, the National Immigration Administration of China announced on Tuesday.&nbsp;
