China has significantly simplified visa procedures for Indian travelers, making it easier and more convenient to visit the country. As of March 17, 2025, the Chinese Embassy and Consulates in India have issued over 50,000 visas, reflecting a surge in demand and strengthened travel ties between the two nations.
Under the new visa rules, Indian travelers no longer need to book online appointments, while biometric exemptions have been introduced for short stays. Additionally, visa fees have been reduced, and the approval process has been accelerated, ensuring faster and hassle-free travel.
These traveler-friendly measures aim to promote tourism, business exchanges, and cultural interactions between India and China, encouraging more seamless travel experiences. The streamlined process is expected to drive higher visitor numbers and further enhance bilateral relations.
