Hello (*^▽^*) everyone, the recent news of visa exemption has come one after another, Malaysia has just announced visa exemption, and Singapore immediately followed, 666.
It's the end of the year, and it's time to make travel plans for the new year. Let's arrange a "just go" national strategy full of dry goods for everyone!
This article is definitely hard goods, mainly for free signs and landing signs, with worry-free strategies, it is not a dream to say go.
To put it simply, there is such a table on the China Consular Service Network, "List of Convenient Entry Treatment for Chinese Citizens Holding Ordinary Passports to Relevant Countries and Regions" (I also found out this time by searching for information!).
It divides the countries that provide entry facilitation to the mainland into three categories:
1. Countries with mutual visa exemption
Countries with "mutual visa exemption" generally only need to bring a passport to directly exit the country and enter the destination.
2. Unilaterally allow Chinese citizens to enter countries and regions without a visa
Some countries with "unilateral visa-free" conditions will have restrictions, such as port restrictions, or only some areas will be visa-free for China. In addition, there are also places where you cannot leave China without a visa, even though you are exempt from visas.
Therefore, it is important to learn more about the visa requirements of a specific country before leaving the country.
3. Countries and regions that unilaterally allow Chinese citizens to apply for visas on arrival
To travel to countries that allow visa-on-arrival, you still need a visa. However, there is no need to apply in advance, and you can handle it directly at the port. Generally speaking, you need to submit the corresponding documents when applying for a visa, and you must understand and prepare in advance.
Similarly, it is important to note whether you need a visa to leave the country before you travel to the country.
For more information, please refer to the official website:
Next, I will follow this classification and introduce to you which countries are worth visiting with the strategy we have written.
After all, there must be many bright spots in the countries that can be favored by the editorial department, and it is definitely right to follow the strategy of frolicking.
Okay, no nonsense, the next thing is the text full of dry goods!
1. Countries with mutual visa exemption
There are really not many countries that are exempt from visas for each other. However, when it comes to playability, it's not weak at all.
The "tyrant" country of the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates, the seven emirates, not to mention anything else, is definitely happy to open your eyes.
And don't be intimidated by the word "local tyrant", Dubai is a turnaround-friendly city. In between transfers, apply for a free board and lodging, and visit the mall by the way!
Dubai Raiders: Dubai Raiders in hand, go to see the high-value Arabian style town!
Abu Dhabi, which is relatively low-key next to Dubai, also has transit benefits and luxury hotels with a desert aesthetic, and after watching Dune, I was a little irresistible to this "otherworldly" beauty.
Abu Dhabi Raiders: For visa-free local tyrants in China, there are also free accommodation benefits
Continuing west from the Middle East, Serbia in southeastern Europe can also be said to be a walk-away.
The country is known as the "forgotten backyard of Europe" and has one of the lowest prices in Europe. With the beauty and food, why not go?
Serbia Raiders: Go to Europe without a visa!
Some time ago, I saw the announcement of visa-free access to Germany and other countries, and I was a little looking forward to it, will I "vote for me with a peach and repay it with Qiong Yao"?
But now, let's take a look south first, everyone in Africa must be familiar with the savannah~ But, in fact, the African island of Mauritius and the nearby Seychelles in the Indian Ocean are all free from us!
The most widely publicized slogan in Mauritius is "Paradise is built in the shape of Mauritius", which simply spooks the locals. From the magnificent natural bridge to the magical seven-colored soil, the scenery here is not worth it!
Mauritius Raiders: First Have It, Then Then Paradise! Isn't That Enough Cow?
Seychelles is one of the top three luxury island destinations along with the Maldives and Tahiti. In addition to the sea view and sandy beaches, the land scenery of the granite islands here has a charm like no other!
Seychelles Raiders: This top luxury island destination, the super complete island selection strategy is here!
Of course, when it comes to islands, Fiji in the South Pacific is certainly not missing: you may have gone to the wrong Fiji, these outer islands are the real anti-heaven existence...
and the "most romantic holiday destination" - the Maldives.
"The water is clear and the sand is young, and the coconut grove is in the shadow", how popular Madai is, I don't have to waste pen and ink. Let's give you a dry goods guide directly:
If you want to go to the Maldives, you can save it, and it is difficult to write so completely
Don't be fooled by travel agencies, an article to understand how to choose an atoll in Madai
Finally, let's look back to the closest place to us.
Malaysia, which has just announced the mutual exemption with the mainland, has seen the price of air tickets go up, and it is full of tears when it is said that there are too many visa fees, and the visa fees saved are posted to the air tickets!
Malaysia Raiders: Start visa-free today!
And, of course, Singapore, the newest visa-free country!
This garden city can be used as a tourist destination just by carrying out an airport. There are also all kinds of delicacies, if you don't go, it's a huge loss!
Singapore Raiders: Singapore is about to be visa-free!
In addition to the countries mentioned, there are also visa exemptions for us.
Seriously, some names I haven't heard of, if you are interested, please leave a message to recommend, the editorial department will continue to give you a strategy in the new year!
2. Unilaterally allow Chinese citizens to enter countries and regions without a visa
The number of countries that are unilaterally exempt from visas is considerable, from Asia to Africa.
Let's talk about the "highest" popularity first - Jeju Island, South Korea. This year alone, team building, fan travel, ...... Jeju Island is about to turn into a back garden!
The editor's summary is also in place: visa-free + direct flight for more than an hour + cheap air tickets and hotels + low consumption, it is a place where you can spend a happy weekend, who can not love it!
Jeju Island Raiders:
Who knows the joy of this island, I can go for another ten days
The free tour is back, and the autumn colors and sea of this small island are beautiful
In addition to Jeju Island, the five Central Asian countries should be counted as the five countries with the fastest rise in popularity this year. Although the low price of air tickets is the main reason why everyone passes through here. However, leaving the country from Xinjiang port, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan are all visa-free countries, and many people have experienced the grace of "One Thousand and One Nights" by the way.
Uzbekistan Raiders: A small visa-free country on the ancient Silk Road, looking like something out of the fairy tale "One Thousand and One Nights".
If you want to travel to Central Asia to find a cheap air ticket, the tourist destination must be farther away~
For example, Georgia in West Asia, this country just announced visa-free access to the mainland in September 23. White snow-capped mountains, lonely churches, rolling blue mountains...... This niche country, located between Europe and Asia, is a popular destination for backpackers.
Georgia Raiders: The fairy country that just goes, or the Swiss super strong replacement!
Further west, Morocco and Tunisia in northern Africa, these originally niche countries have also entered everyone's field of vision.
Morocco and Tunisia, one across the sea from Spain and Portugal, and the other with a long Mediterranean coastline. Compared with traditional African countries, the culture here is more integrated and rich, and the scenery is also "half sea, half fire" diversity, each with its own characteristics.
Morocco Raiders: Morocco is a well-deserved Internet celebrity travel destination!
Tunisia Raiders: A small Mediterranean country that looks like Greece is finally waiting for its visa-free again
The "finishing touch" in Africa has to be the French island of Reunion in the south.
It lives next to Mauritius, the "template of heaven", but Réunion is much more "evil", it is simply the Earthly division of the Moon/Mars. Active volcanoes, extinct volcanoes, how the scenery pulls the wind and how to come, to be honest, this is the island that makes me the most excited! (Note: Reunion is visa-free for the team.) ）
French Reunion Raiders: Go to France without a visa! Let me see whose DNA moves!
In terms of visa-free islands, there is also an American island, which is also visa-free.
Other countries that are unilaterally visa-free to China include Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Oceania.
In the same way, if you are interested in the destination, you can leave a message to urge the strategy!
3. Countries and regions that unilaterally allow Chinese citizens to apply for visa-on-arrival
The countries with visa-on-arrival are widely concentrated in the Asian region.
Southeast Asia, although it has been on the cusp this year, has a strong cultural atmosphere, rich tropical cuisine, and low prices, which itself still has advantages that are difficult to replace.
South Asia also belongs to the existence of gods in landscape and humanity.
Continuing to West Asia, Africa is also a very good destination.
As for the island, it is definitely something that Island Control will not miss.
Let's start with a few destinations in Southeast Asia.
If you want to say that the editorial department prefers the most, it has to be Thailand. As soon as we let go of the country, the island strategy of Thailand was "wiped out" by us: this year's annual leave, I want to waste all of it on these 1430 small islands!
There's no way, it's a place where it's sunny and sand all year round, and it's really hard not to love it!
From south to north, Thailand is also a country with abundant scenery from islands to mountains.
Chiang Mai in northern Thailand is the "happy hometown" of many people, and more than one friend has told me that he wants to go to Chiang Mai to retire: I am used to being in this small city in Thailand, and I want to quit my job when I come back!
Finally, let's take a look at the central part, with Bangkok as the center, from Bangkok to Pattaya, not only is many people's first impression of Thailand, but also the level of fun is not far behind, catch up with the discount of air fare, and want to go for a weekend at any time!
Bangkok Raiders: Who knows, Thailand is also too easy to visit!
Pattaya Raiders: After spending 2 days in this small city in Thailand, I found out that the "red light district" is my biggest misunderstanding about it!
BTW, from September 25, 2023 to February 29, 2024, Thailand will implement a temporary visa-free policy for Chinese tourists staying for no more than 30 days!
Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia, which are close to Thailand, are three countries with a very strong cultural atmosphere.
After the opening of the China-Laos railway, Laos has become the first stop for many people to go abroad this year. It's not too cost-effective to go abroad by train: you can go abroad for less than ¥200, and the best places to go in Southeast Asia are here
And Luang Prabang is really the most beautiful microcosm of this Buddhist country: it is a small city that has been forgotten by time, but please continue to forget it
Myanmar and Cambodia are not very hot because of the international situation. But I personally like both countries.
Myanmar is truly a country of Buddhism, peaceful and friendly, and sitting under the Shwedagon Pagoda and watching the locals chat is a very healing thing. (I'm referring to normal tourist cities such as Yangon and Mandalay in Myanmar, and abnormal areas such as northern Myanmar, which are not the same thing at all.) ）
Myanmar Raiders: Showdown, no more rolls, I'm going to lie down here!
It has to fight with Bagan in Myanmar, and it has to be Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
To be honest, walking inside Angkor Wat, even if you don't know much about the local culture, you will still feel the shock of the scalp tingling. It's huge, it's beautiful. And the erosion of time has also made these monuments show a more intimidating power.
Cambodia Raiders: Open your mind, I'm going here to see the wonders of the world this year!
Vietnam is a long, narrow country with a long coastline from north to south.
Ha Long Bay and Hanoi in the north are the closest to China, and the scenery and culture are similar; the cultural atmosphere in the central part is stronger, Hue and Hoi An are the epitome of the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures; in the south, in addition to the "Paris of the East" and "Saigon", the sea water of Nha Trang and Mui Ne is also very beautiful.
Vietnam Raiders: Good and cheap, really fun, the strongest Sanya replacement!
However, although Vietnam allows visa on arrival, it is a "conditional" visa on arrival, and the conditions are actually more stringent. Basically, only the entry to participate in a tour organized by Vietnam International Travel Agency can be passed. Therefore, if you are traveling independently, it is recommended to apply for a visa in advance.
Of course, there is one place in Vietnam that is worth mentioning separately, and that is Phu Quoc, which is visa-free.
The island, good sea water and good beach are the standard, but the cost-effective plus good hotels are piled up, it is worth rushing: if the flight is powerful, this island can be directly crowned god
But if you look at the islands, it has to be Indonesia. As the "Land of a Thousand Islands", Indonesia can be said to be a collection of various types of islands.
The island of Java, both human and wild, has the shock of Borobudur and the surprise of Mount Bromo and danger: this island, chosen for the cover of Lonely Planet, is perfect for driving!
"Singapore's Back Garden", Bintan Island that can be checked in with the Lion City: the island of dreams suitable for walking babies, I have found it!
Lombok where you can hike in an active volcanic crater: I heard that Thailand is crowded?
Komodo Island, home to the "prehistoric creature" Komodo Dragon: This beautiful island infested with "mythical beasts" is a must-visit in my life!
If it is island control, this country is really worth unlimited repurchase!
After visiting Southeast Asia, go west, and Nepal is you.
Nepal we haven't written about the big raiders, but it's a really cool country. Nepal has an altitude difference of more than 8,000 meters, and at an altitude of several hundred meters, basking in the sun and drinking coffee to watch the towering snow-capped mountains is really a very cool experience.
ABC (Annapurna Loop) and EBC (Everest South Slope Loop), these two ceiling-level hiking routes, are really blown. In addition to the gorgeous natural beauty, the ancient capital of Kathmandu, and the Buddhist holy land of Lumbini, this country is not lost at all in terms of humanity!
After shopping in Asia, it's time to go global.
Continuing to the west, recently "Flower Less 5" has brought fire to a West Asian country, Saudi Arabia.
The scenery is mesmerizing!
Saudi Arabia Raiders: The sci-fi country dug up in the popular variety show, fleeing the earth directly here
Passing through Central Asia to Africa, Egypt must be a "place of fascination." Although the travel experience in Egypt is somewhat indescribable, the majestic pyramids, the statues of the pharaohs who have traveled through thousands of years, the moment you see them, you will feel that the toss along the way is worth it!
Egypt Raiders: The country you want to visit the most this year, it must occupy one!
In addition to the above, I will also put a list of countries that can be visa-on-arrival:
Asia: Iraq, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Timor-Leste, Lebanon, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Brunei, Jordan, Bangladesh.
Africa: Cape Verde, Comoros, Rwanda, Madagascar, Mauritania, Sao Tome and Principe, Tanzania, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Guinea-Bissau, Burundi, Angola, Somalia, Botswana.
Americas: Poville.
Oceania: Palau, Tuvalu.
Finally, another easter egg is placed, and the mainland has an "overseas enclave" - Svalbard in the Arctic region. According to the Svalbard Treaty, mainland citizens can enter the country visa-free with a valid travel document without having to apply for a permit from any country or region.
And the most well-known landmark here is the mainland's Arctic scientific research station "Yellow River Station"!
Finally, although the countries mentioned in the article are visa-free and visa-on-arrival, I would like to quote the consulate's reminder: some countries (e.g., Seychelles) require visa-free entrants to provide hotel orders, departure air ticket orders and other materials. It is recommended to check the website of the embassies and consulates of the relevant countries in China or directly consult the embassies and consulates of the relevant countries in China before departure to learn about the specific visa-free entry regulations and avoid obstruction of entry.
Finally, (really last!), if you have a country strategy you want to see, welcome to leave a message!
(PS, the information of this article, Baa Baa compared with the existing materials and the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.) But the content is complicated, if there are any omissions, please correct it, thank you!)
