China Grants Visa-Free Travel to Canada, UK

BEIJING: (Web Desk) – China has confirmed that Canadian and British citizens will be allowed to travel visa-free starting Tuesday, following agreements reached during official visits to Beijing. The policy will remain in effect until December 31, 2026.

The announcement came after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney visited China in January to strengthen bilateral relations and reduce reliance on the increasingly unpredictable United States. During their meetings with Chinese leaders, including President Xi Jinping, visa-free travel for their citizens was among the key agreements reached.
