In a move that signifies the final withdrawal of cross-border control in the wake of Covid-19, China intends to fully reopen its borders to foreign tourists on Wednesday. The issuance of visas will resume as they were pre-pandemic and areas that required no visas prior to the placement of restrictions will revert back to visa-free entry, including Hong Kong, Macau, and Guangdong.
The move to issue all visas for foreigners will enable the free flow of travel to China and the resumption of pre-covid and in-person business and international trade activities.
Additionally, international conferences and forums hosted in China are anticipated to gradually resume following the reopening, including the China Development Forum and the Shanghai Autoshow.
