From December 1, 2025, Chinese people can enter Russia without a visa (签证) for up to 30 days.
The visa-free rule works for many purposes. These include visiting family, doing business, traveling, joining cultural or sports events, and passing through Russia. Chinese people just need a regular passport. The policy (政策) will last until September 14, 2026.
However, the rule does not cover everyone. It doesn’t include those going to Russia for work, study, or to live there. Drivers and other crew (乘务员) members for international road transport also can not get it.
