    Russia ordinary passports: unilateral visa waiver through 2027

    China MFA's current FAQ places Russia in the current unilateral 30-day ordinary-passport waiver through 31 December 2027.

    • For a valid ordinary passport only, and for business, tourism, visits to relatives or friends, exchange visits, or transit, up to 30 days calculated from the day after entry.
    • The FAQ confirms the unilateral waiver applies to individuals as well as tour groups; this policy does not normalize the separate bilateral authorized-tour-group arrangement.
    • Work, study, news coverage, residence, special documents, diplomatic/official travel, regional programmes, port visas, security and individual admissibility remain separate.
