New Policy! Indonesian Passport Holders Now Enjoy Visa-Free Entry to China for 10 Days

Recently, China has introduced a number of new policies aimed at strengthening bilateral relations with Southeast Asian countries. One of the latest policies announced is the granting of a 10-day (240-hour) visa-free transit for select nationalities, including Indonesia.

China’s New Visa Policy: 10-Day Visa-Free Entry

Starting from June 12, 2025, China has implemented a visa-free transit policy allowing eligible nationals, including Indonesian citizens, to enter and stay in China for up to 10 days (240 hours) without a visa.

The initiative is part of China’s efforts to strengthen ties with Southeast Asian nations, including Indonesia, and to boost its tourism and economic sectors.

With this new policy, Indonesian travelers can explore various attractions in China for up to 10 days without needing to apply for a visa in advance.
