China and Malaysia have signed an agreement on mutual visa exemption as part of measures to strengthen relations, the Chinese government announced on Thursday.?
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement by spokesperson Lin Jian, noted that the visa waiver applies to holders of official and ordinary passports.
The ministry stated that the exemption will“boost cross-border travel and interactions and cooperation in various fields, and facilitate the building of a China-Malaysia community.”?
Previously, the two countries had temporarily waived visa requirements for each other, with Malaysia granting visa-free entry to Chinese citizens until the end of 2026. With the signing of the new agreement, both sides have now officially established permanent mutual visa exemption for holders of ordinary passports, allowing stays of up to 30 days per visit.
