Beijing, November 3 (Xinhua) — China's 240-hour visa-free transit regime will be expanded to five more checkpoints in Guangdong Province as part of the country's latest efforts to further deepen its opening-up policy, the National Administration of Immigration (NAI) announced on Monday.

Three of the new checkpoints are located in Guangzhou, Hengqin District of Zhuhai and Zhongshan, while the other two are at the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and at West Kowloon Station of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong high-speed railway line.

The new policy, which comes into effect on November 5, will increase the total number of checkpoints authorized to implement 240-hour visa-free transit from 60 to 65.

Travelers from 55 countries who meet certain criteria can enter China through any of 65 checkpoints in 24 provincial-level regions of China and stay in the country for up to 240 hours or 10 days without a visa before traveling to a third destination, GUM said. -0-
