Beijing, November 10 (Xinhua) — Since China's visa-free entry regime for Russian citizens with regular passports came into effect on September 15, 2025, more than 63,000 Russian tourists have entered China through Beijing Daxing International Airport as of Sunday evening, an increase of nearly 80 percent compared to the same period last year, the airport's border control service reported Monday.
"Thanks to the visa-free regime, we traveled from Moscow to Beijing to visit such sights as the Great Wall of China and the Palace Museum (the former imperial palace)," shared a Russian tourist who arrived at Daxing Airport.
As of Sunday evening, the number of tourists arriving in or departing from China through the airport in the Chinese capital has exceeded 5 million since the beginning of 2025, which is 26.6 percent more than in the same period last year.
The data also shows that since the beginning of this year, nearly 450,000 foreign citizens have entered China through Daxing Airport, taking advantage of the visa-free regime or receiving a temporary stay permit.
As a reminder, China has introduced a trial visa-free regime for Russian citizens holding regular passports from September 15, 2025 to September 14, 2026.
Russian citizens holding valid passports may visit China visa-free for business, tourism, visiting relatives and friends, exchanging visits, and transit purposes. Their stay in China should not exceed 30 days.
