Russia, China Boost Business Ties with New Visa-Free Policy
Russia and China have bolstered their business ties with a new visa-free policy, effective from September 15, 2025, to September 14, 2026. This move is anticipated to invigorate economic activity between the two nations, with Russian entrepreneurs eager to capitalize on the opportunity.
The policy allows Russian citizens holding ordinary passports to stay in China for up to 30 days without a visa for business, tourism, and other private visits. This streamlined process is set to significantly increase the number of Russian entrepreneurs visiting China for business events. Russian President Vladimir Putin lauded the policy as an 'extremely kind gesture' and promised a reciprocal response.
Bilateral trade between the two countries has been robust, reaching $19.14 billion in July 2025. China is Russia's leading trade partner. The visa-free policy is seen as a catalyst for business growth, stimulating economic energy and raising business prospects in China. Russian business sectors, particularly in energy, oil and gas, and high-tech, have been increasingly active in China. The policy is expected to facilitate these sectors' growth and encourage more Russian entrepreneurs to seek business partners in China.
The visa-free policy between Russia and China is poised to drive business growth and strengthen economic ties. With China as Russia's leading trade partner, the policy is expected to significantly increase the number of Russian entrepreneurs visiting China, fostering new business opportunities and stimulating economic activity.
