BEIJING
Nationals from 53 countries and regions became eligible for 144-hour visa-free entry in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebel province in a move linked to the-
BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE and the integrated growth strtaegy of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebel.
Nationals from 53 countries with eligible travel identification and reserved tickets with a fixed date to a third country or region within 144 hours are eligible for the new visa-free entry period.
They include the United States, Australia and the Republic of Korea.
The new policy extends the visa free stay for travelers who want to visit the three regions, allowing foreigners sufficient time for a short visit for travel, business meetings or visiting friends and family.
It will boost the tourism industry, said Zhu Lei, deputy head of Beijing's port of entry office.
Beijing and Tianjin previously allowed a 72-hour visa-free stay. The 72-hour visa-free has been allowed by Beijing since 2013.
The number of foreigners eligible for the free-visa policy has increased gradually, Zhu said.
The policy has been praised by International travellers.
But based on a survey, about 40% of international travellers said 72 hours are insufficient for them to enjoy the city of Beijing, and they wished to extend their visa.
