URUMQI, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) — China Southern Airlines flight CZ6002 from Moscow to Urumqi, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, landed safely at Tianshan International Airport on Monday. Russian passengers on board the plane became the first group of people to arrive from Russia to China under the new visa-free policy.
"I always wanted to visit China. Thanks to the visa-free regime, traveling to this country has become much easier, and passing through passport and customs control is faster," said Marina, a tourist from Russia.
Let us recall that China has introduced a visa-free regime for holders of ordinary Russian passports in a test mode, which will be in effect from September 15, 2025 to September 14, 2026.
Russian citizens holding valid regular foreign passports will be able to stay in China under a visa-free regime for the purposes of doing business, making tourist trips, visiting relatives and friends, exchanging visits, and for transit, for a period of no more than 30 days, according to a statement from the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
As the visa-free policy is implemented, Xinjiang checkpoints will accept more and more Russian tourists, the Tianshan Airport customs service reported.
Currently, Tianshan Airport operates 32 international passenger routes connecting Urumqi with countries in Central, Western and Southeast Asia, as well as Europe. The airport's global route network continues to expand. -0-
