China adds Indonesia to 240-hour visa-free transit program, expands list to 55 countries

(ECNS) -- Starting Thursday, Indonesian citizens will be eligible for China’s 240-hour visa-free transit policy, according to the national immigration administration.

With this addition, China’s visa-free transit policy now covers 55 countries.

Eligible Indonesian travelers can enter through any of the 60 ports across 24 provincial-level regions and stay up to 240 hours, or 10 days, without a visa before heading to a third destination.

Activities including work, study, and journalistic reporting that require prior approval must still be conducted with the appropriate visa.
