U.S., China mutually extend visas to 10 years to boost trade, tourism

“Under the deal, which the United States will put into effect on Nov. 12, both countries would extend the terms of multiple entry short-term tourist and business visas to 10 years from one year, the White House said in an accompanying statement. Student visas would be extended to five years from one year.  The extension matches what is currently allowed for citizens of nations with close relations with the U.S., such as European countries and Brazil.  A senior U.S. official said the visa agreement would allow the United States to tap into the fast-growing market of Chinese tourists traveling abroad.  It will also make it easier for Chinese businesses and investors to get involved in U.S. projects.”
