Starting on 16 January 2018, citizens of UAE will be exempt from pre-entry visa to China.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was inked between UAE and China to exempt UAE passport holders from obtaining pre-entry visas, with the possibility of staying for up to 30 days on each visit.

The MoU was signed by Ahmed Elham Al Zahery, the Under-Secretary of Ministry of Foreign affairs and International Cooperation, who said that such initiative from the Chinese government reflected the high global position of UAE, and the improvement in Chinese-Emirati relations.

The memorandum opens new fields for UAE citizens for tourism, investment and trade, he noted.
