定刻より4時間遅れでヘイダル・アリエフ国際空港(Baku)に到着しました。

バクーにある国際空港であり、アゼルバイジャン航空の本拠地だそうです。

機体が着陸した瞬間、機内では拍手喝采👏文化の違いを感じたときでした。

アゼルバイジャンはビザの事前取得が必須だったようですが、親日国のひとつということで、日本国籍者は空港で入国審査を受ける場合はビザが無料で現地取得可能になったそうです🗾

ビザはATMに似た機械で申請します。機会の前には空港職員が付いて、職員がつきっきりで教えてく��るので大変スムーズに取得できましたが、これ、レシートだよね？？

滞在先は今夜宿泊するホテルで、緊急連絡先は添乗員さんの携帯電話を入力するように事前に指示されていました。

出国審査の際、抜き打ちでビザの提示を求められるそうなので、紛失しないでください！と厳重注意がありました。

これがビザを現地取得するための機械です。

この機械に表示されていない旗の国籍の人は有人カウンターで料金を払って取得したり、渡航前に大使館に行ってビザ取得するなど、国籍によって手続きが全く異なるそうです。

監視カメラに囲まれた入国審査を突破しました。やっと解放された…汗

China’s list of visa-free countries expanded

China’s visa-free travel list continues to grow, with five more European countries added to the list.

Citizens of Andorra, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Slovakia and Finland have been granted visa-free entry to the Asian country.

Tourists from these countries as well as South Korea will be able to enter China without visas from November 8, 2024 to December 31, 2025.

This comes after the addition of Norway was announced in September and Cyprus, Denmark, Greece, Greece, Portugal and Slovenia in October. This brings the total number of European countries granted visa-free access to 24. In July, travellers from Poland, Australia and New Zealand were also granted unrestricted entry to China until the end of 2025.

The scheme was announced in phases from the beginning of 2024, and various European countries and Malaysia have also been granted visa-free access. The programme aims to attract more people to China for business and tourism purposes, and to promote exchanges between Chinese citizens and foreigners.

The full list of European countries now includes Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Switzerland. Tourists from these countries will be allowed to enter China for short stays without a visa until the end of next year.

The aim is to “promote the qualitative development of exchanges between Chinese and foreign personnel and open up the outside world at a high level,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said at a briefing on the initial announcement in November. Under the trial programme, visa-free entry will be granted for up to 15 days.

China’s international travel recovery continues

According to statistics, the country recorded 35.5 million foreign tourists in 2023, up from 97.7 million before the pandemic. Experts estimate that in the three years that the country was closed to the outside world due to the pandemic, the loss of revenue due to the lack of tourists totalled $362bn.The target for 2024 is to reach a level of 50 per cent of total entry in 2019.

Europe is recovering faster than some other markets, according to travel websites. Trip.com statistics show that growth in total bookings from Europe to China is up more than 6 times in 2023 compared to 2022 and almost 29% compared to 2019. Germany and the UK are in the top 10 most active inbound markets. Shanghai remains China’s most popular destination for Europeans, followed by Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Encouraging entry works. According to Trip.com, the most recent holiday – the Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year, which starts at the end of January and lasts officially 15 days but actually a whole month – saw twice as many tourists from the named 11 European countries travelling to China as in 2019.

China is also doing a lot to facilitate payments, infrastructure development. But according to experts, while the country has made significant strides in developing advanced technology and transport infrastructure for domestic travel, foreign tourists often face problems travelling around the country. For example, to book seats on high-speed trains or museum tickets, it is necessary to use the local WeChat service.

Many establishments accept WeChat Pay or AliPay exclusively, putting foreign travellers in a difficult position if they rely solely on cash or credit cards. And many hotels in China are not allowed to accept foreign travellers at all.

Land, sea and air: 5 visa-free ways to travel to China from 72 hours up to 30 days

A visa to China can take days, cost well over US$100 and require page after page of paperwork.

The red tape has deterred some foreigners from visiting the world’s second-largest economy as tourists or business travellers.

China reopened its borders and abandoned quarantine in January 2023 after shedding three years of its zero-Covid policy, but the pandemic had led to a large exodus of foreign residents and virtually no inbound tourism.

And since late last year, Chinese immigration officials have placed 12 countries on a visa-free list and augmented older visa waiver schemes amid efforts to boost inbound travel.

Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait plan visa-free entry for Russians

Several Gulf states are preparing to allow visa-free entry for Russians as part of tourism development, according to bne IntelliNews.

The preparation was announced by Russian Economy Minister Maxim Reshetnikov on 12 June at the “Travel!” tourism forum in Moscow. He said that Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman were in the final stages of agreeing on visa-free entry for Russian nationals. He also mentioned ongoing negotiations with Malaysia and Myanmar in Southeast Asia.

Middle Eastern countries, including the United Arab Emirates, have been keen to gain a foothold in the growing Russian tourism market changed since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in 2022.

The minister noted that the country welcomed 400,000 foreign travellers since Russia had introduced an e-visa system in August, as well as existing visa waiver agreements.

Of course, we will further simplify the visa process and consider reducing the cost. In parallel, we have launched a mechanism for group entry with China and Iran. We are now working closely with our colleagues from India, also proposing and discussing with them the conclusion of an intergovernmental agreement on this topic.

The Russian government aims to increase the share of tourism in the country’s GDP to 5 per cent by 2030, up from 2.8 per cent in 2023. Reshetnikov also revealed that Russia was looking for partners in Saudi Arabia to help launch a payment card for foreign tourists visiting the country.

The project, called Tourist Card, will allow visitors to apply for the card in their home country, transfer funds and use it for purchases while in Russia. Moreover, any balance will be transferred back to their account when they leave. Reshetnikov called on Saudi financial institutions to assist with the project.
