China Grants 30-Day Visa-Free Entry for British Citizens After Starmer's Visit

  • China announced 30-day visa-free entry for British passport holders for tourism and business purposes.
  • The decision followed British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's visit to Beijing in late January 2026, marking the first such visit in eight years.
  • This unilateral move by China aims to strengthen people-to-people relations and facilitate trade and investment.
  • British travelers will save on visa fees and application processes, making business and tourism travel easier.
  • While beneficial for British citizens, Chinese citizens do not receive reciprocal visa-free entry to the UK.

Why It Matters: China offers 30-day visa-free travel to British citizens, boosting tourism and business ties after PM Starmer's visit.
