Chongqing, south China’s municipality, will allow transit passengers 72-hour visa-free stays from November in a move aimed at the local economy and tourism.
The new policy will apply to visitors from 45 countries, the municipal government annouced on Wednesday,and follows similar decisions taken by Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu.
Visitors eligible for visa-free stays must have air tickets to a third country with confirmed dates and seats, and visas where required.
A service center for transit passengers will operate at Chongqing airport.
“The airport will provide services including currency exchange and travel advice at the international terminal for the convenience of passengers,” said Pei Mingxue, the airport's deputy manager.
Twenty-one international airlines operate from the airport, and a non-stop flight from Chongqing to Sydney is due to be launched at the end of the year. Non-stop flights to the 45 countries covered by the new policy, including Russia, Germany and Italy, are being planned.
Chongqing, the only municipality in southwestern China, has a population of 30 million. The downtown area is surrounded by hills and has two rivers.
