          OK appatently only a few countries can benefit from this policy

          spoiler since its a long text

          1. China announced on May 6, 2024 that visa-free policy provided to citizens of 12 countries including France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands was extended to the end of 2025, which was previously effective till the end of November this year. Benefiting from the policy, citizens of these 12 countries can enter China without a visa and stay for at most 15 days.

          2. From May 15, 2024 on, all foreigners, in despite of their nationalities, arriving in China by cruise ship can enjoy visa-free stay for up to 15 days. The allowed stay areas are the whole China coastal regions including Shanghai, Hangzhou, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and its capital Beijing. But please be aware that they need to join a group tour operated by a local travel agency, each with 2 or more members; and leave by the same cruise.

          3. China will grant visa-free policy among New Zealand, Australia and Poland passport holders from July 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025.
