Bahrainis can continue to travel to China visa-free as Beijing has extended its free entry policy for 45 countries until December 31, 2026.
Bahraini citizens can currently stay in China for up to 30 days without a visa for purposes such as tourism, family visits, or business activities.
The policy grants visa-free stay for citizens from 45 countries, including Kuwait, Oman and Saudi Arabia, and will expand the scheme to cover Sweden, effective November 10, the foreign ministry said on Monday.
The extension covers 32 European countries, as well as Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and several nations in South America and the Gulf region, according to a statement released by the foreign ministry's consular affairs department.
The policy was scheduled to expire at the end of this year for many countries.
