The agreement, signed during President Ilham Aliyev’s state visit to China in April 2025, permits citizens of both countries to visit for up to 30 days per entry, not exceeding 90 days within a 180-day period. The visa waiver applies to holders of valid ordinary passports and aims to deepen strategic cooperation between Baku and Beijing.
