China resumes Singapore visa-free

The Chinese government will resume the 15-day visa-free policy for Singaporean citizens from July 26, by the Chinese Embassy in Singapore on July 23. The policy will allow Singaporean citizens holding ordinary passports to enter China for business, tourism, family visit and transit purposes.

Visas which have been issued to Singaporean citizens are still valid, and visa applications that have been lodged will be processed normall. Singapore's foreign ministry said on social media that reinstating the visa-free policy will facilitate people and business flows between the countries and pave the way for deeper bilateral cooperation.
