China will allow citizens of Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay to enter visa-free for one year starting June 1, aiming to strengthen ties with Latin America. The move follows a forum where President Xi pledged $9 billion in credit and new investments in the region.
China is expanding its visa-free policy to include nationals from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay, aligning some of Latin America’s largest economies with many European and Asian countries that already benefit from similar privileges.
The year-long visa waiver will begin on June 1, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian announced on Thursday during a regular press briefing.
Brazil, Argentina, and Chile - all among Latin America’s top five economies - will now enjoy simplified travel access to China, joining the ranks of most European nations as well as regional neighbors like Japan and South Korea, which were granted visa-free entry last year.
The move follows a high-level forum held earlier this week in Beijing between China and officials from Latin America and the Caribbean, where President Xi Jinping pledged to enhance China's engagement in the region through a $9 billion credit line and expanded infrastructure investment.
