Foreign nationals can visit visa-free for up to six days from Hong Kong or Macau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Macau.- Mainland Chinese authorities have announced that eligible tour groups can visit the Greater Bay Area (GBA) from Hong Kong or Macau without a visa for up to six days. The GBA encompasses nine major cities: Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhaoqing, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Huizhou, Zhuhai, Zhongshan and Jiangmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The initiative is open to tour groups organised by registered travel agencies based in Hong Kong or Macau. The groups must comprise a minimum of two participants. Instead of undergoing a visa approval process, tourists can present their passports at border checkpoints, simplifying their entry into Guangdong and the GBA. Tourists must remain part of the group after crossing the border.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
