Sagynbek Abdumutalip explained that visa-free entry to China for up to 10 days requires only one condition: an airline ticket confirming that the return journey to Kyrgyzstan will pass through a third country. If a Kyrgyz citizen wishes to visit Beijing, Shanghai, or another Chinese city visa-free, they simply need to purchase a direct flight to the chosen city and a return ticket to Kyrgyzstan via a third-party country.

For example, the following routes can be used: Shanghai — Almaty — Bishkek or Beijing — Tashkent — Osh.

Upon entering China, they can fly directly to one of the 65 destinations listed.

Furthermore, China has allowed citizens of Kyrgyzstan visa-free entry to Hainan Island for up to 30 days.

Therefore, Kyrgyz citizens will no longer have to pay visa fees, gather visa documents, or waste time visiting a consulate.

It is worth noting that China is unilaterally introducing a 10-day visa-free regime for Kyrgyz citizens. Chinese citizens still require a visa to enter Kyrgyzstan.

Before allowing citizens of another country visa-free entry, countries conduct a comprehensive analysis of that country.

«We believe that, in making this decision, the Chinese side took into account the high level of bilateral cooperation, the results of reforms, the security and socio-political stability in Kyrgyzstan, economic growth, and the established, full control over the production of state documents. I am confident that this measure will create conditions for developing cooperation in trade and tourism,»

Sagynbek Abdumutalip concluded.
