Russia and China extend a mutual visa-free travel arrangement through the end of 2027, according to notices and legal information published by relevant authorities. The Moscow Times reports that Russia extends visa-free travel for Chinese tourists, with the waiver set to expire in December 2027, as part of a reciprocity arrangement with China’s visa-free regime for Russian citizens. PravdaReport adds that China extends visa-free travel for Russian citizens until December 31, 2027, citing a notice published by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Under the agreement, Russian citizens may stay in China for up to 30 days without a visa for purposes including business, tourism, or visiting relatives and friends. PravdaReport also states that Russia extends visa-free entry for Chinese citizens until December 31, 2027, citing a decree signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and published on Russia’s official legal information portal. Across the reports, the extension maintains visa-free access for short stays and preserves the end-of-2027 expiration date for both directions of travel.
