China Announces Full Borders Reopening

China on Tuesday announced the full reopening of its borders after three years of strict anti-Coronavirus, COVID-19 measures taken to protect global communities.

The country’s foreign ministry which made the announcement in Beijing, said “all types of visas for foreigners will be issued again” as from Wednesday.

Long-term visas issued before the border closure on March 28, 2020, can also be used again, according to the statement.
