The 144-hour visa-free transit policy for foreigners has now expanded to the whole of the Yangtze River Delta after the implementation of the policy in Anhui Province was announced at a recent forum.
The 6th Yangtze River Delta Integration Development High-Level Forum held in Zhejiang's Wenzhou City last week also unveiled a list of 10 major projects to enhance regional integration.
The 144-hour visa-free policy, initially approved by the State Council in January 2016, allowed travelers from 54 countries to enter or exit through specific ports in Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou without a visa, facilitating a six-day stay within Shanghai as well as Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
