In a landmark move, China has announced visa-free entry for citizens of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman starting June 9, 2025, until 2026.
According to China’s Xinhua News Agency, this decision expands the existing visa-free policy already in place with the UAE and Qatar since 2018, covering all Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations.
The new policy marks a strategic shift in China-Gulf relations, facilitating easier travel and deeper ties between the two regions.
