With the approval of the State Council, starting from December 28th, 2017, foreigners with valid international travel documents and joint tickets to third countries (regions) can stay in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei for 144 hours without a visa when entering or leaving any of the six ports designated by Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. The new visa-free policy covers 53 countries, which effectively simplifies visa procedures, extends the time limit for visa-free stay in transit, is conducive to increasing the number of inbound tourists, expanding tourism consumption, and enhancing Beijing's tourism competitiveness and attractiveness. It is an important measure to build an international exchange center.
