Russia has adopted a visa-free policy for Chinese citizens visiting the country for tourism or business purposes, a reciprocal move that is expected to promote the development of tourism, trade and exchanges between the two countries and contribute to their economic growth.

俄罗斯对中国公民实施免签政策，适用于旅游或商务目的。作为一项互惠举措，这项政策预计将推动两国旅游、贸易及交流的发展，并为两国经济增长作出贡献。

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed an executive order on Monday allowing Chinese nationals to enter Russia visa-free and stay for up to 30 days for purposes including family visits, business trips, tourism, and participation in scientific, cultural, sociopolitical, economic or sports events, as well as transit.
俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京于周一签署行政令，允许中国公民免签入境并停留最长30天，适用于探亲、商务、旅游，以及参与科研、文化、社会政治、经济或体育活动等用途，也包括过境。

The order, which took effect immediately, will expire on Sept 14, 2026.
