China, Azerbaijan to launch visa-free travel

Starting July 16, holders of ordinary passports from China and Azerbaijan will be permitted to travel between the two countries without the requirement of a visa under a new bilateral agreement.

The agreement allows citizens of both countries to enter, exit, or transit through the other country without a visa for up to 30 days per visit, with a maximum cumulative stay of 90 days within any 180-day period.

Individuals who plan to remain longer than 30 days per visit, or those who intend to reside, work, study, or engage in journalism activities, are required to secure the appropriate visa prior to their travel.
