China’s Premier Li Qiang announced visa-free entry for citizens of Ireland during his visit to Dublin, aiming to enhance cooperation and foster exchanges between the two countries. This aligns with China’s recent efforts to simplify visa processes, attract tourism, and encourage investment.
Impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, China is actively easing entry requirements to attract tourists and investors. Previously, China granted unilateral visa-free travel for Switzerland, emphasizing its commitment to becoming an appealing destination. While awaiting official confirmation, China has already implemented measures to boost tourism.
