VIVA – China recently has continued restrictions and even to stop issuing visas for Japanese tourists that want to visit China. This decision was announced on Sunday, January 29, 2023, in a statement posted on the Chinese Embassy’s website.
This becomes a move that could ease the contention between the two countries. Chinese Embassy and Consulate in Japan said that this new regulation will come into effect this week.
China stopped issuing new visas in Japan in apparent retaliation for Tokyo’s requirement of additional tests for Chinese tourists, ahead of the Chinese New Year holidays. Meanwhile, Tokyo made a protest Beijing over the suspension of visas for its citizens and asked to cancel the action.
