ANOTHER city in China is on track to implement 72-hour visa waivers for transit passengers, following the launch of such schemes in three other major Chinese destinations.
Last week, an article by Xinhua stated that Kunming was expected to become the fourth city in China to offer international passengers visa-free transits.
The report said Yunnan’s provincial tourism development commission and Yunnan Airport Group, which runs Kunming Changshui International Airport, would apply for permission to waive visa requirements later in the year.
Three cities in China, namely Beijing (TTG Asia e-Daily, December 6, 2012), Shanghai (TTG Asia e-Daily, July 27, 2012) and Guangzhou.
In June, China Daily reported that Chengdu has already secured approval from the State Council to introduce the 72-hour visa waiver for transits, though no date was given for the launch (TTG Asia e-Daily, June 10, 2013).
