China and Brazil agreed to grant 10-year visas for each other's citizens for business, leisure trips and family visits, starting from February 19, in a move aiming to promote bilateral economic cooperation and business activity.
Experts said the new mutual visa policy will help lead to a better business climate between China and Brazil, as well as people-to-people exchanges, based on the stable bilateral relationship.
According to Lingshi Zhitongche, the official social media account of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, 10-year visas will allow for multiple entries on either side, with stays of up to 90 days for a single visit.
The expiration dates of these visas can be extended if necessary, but the total stay should be under 180 days during the 12 months after the first entry, the ministry noted.
