Reference News Network, September 5 report - According to TASS on September 4, Russian President Putin said that Russia will implement a visa-free policy for Chinese citizens.
From September 15, 2025, to September 14, 2026, China will pilot a 30-day visa-free policy for Russian citizens holding regular passports.
The report said that Putin said: "Russia will certainly respond with an equivalent friendly measure. We will do the same."
According to Chinese regulations, Russian citizens holding regular passports who come to China for business, tourism, visiting relatives and friends, exchanges, or transit for no more than 30 days can enter without a visa.
The report also stated that China and Russia have implemented the agreement on mutual exemption of group tour visas. Tour groups must be organized by travel agencies certified by both countries, with a number of people between 5 and 50.
Other Chinese tourists traveling to Russia need to hold a regular visa or an e-visa. The e-visa to Russia was implemented from August 2023, allowing a stay of up to 30 days in Russia. The processing time is several days, and the fee is $40 to $50 (1 USD is approximately 7.14 RMB). (Translated by Li Ran)
