AUSTRALIA is on a list of 54 countries eligible to access extended transit stays in China.
In a bid to stimulate more tourism spend, the Chinese Govt has relaxed its visa-free transit policy effective immediately, extending stays to 10 days from the original six-day limit.
More than 20 ports have also been added to the list, increasing the number of visa-free entry/exit points to 60 across 24 provinces.
Newly added hubs include: Shanxi; Jiangsu; Zhejiang; Fujian; Hainan; and Sichuan.
