According China's state own media, China and Canada just reached an agreement on granting visas to each other's citizens, with the validity period of up to 10 years, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said here Sunday.

Wang made the remarks at a press conference on the sidelines of the annual session of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature.

The new visa policy will take effect on Monday, he said.

Wang also told the press that last year China signed visa exemption or facilitation agreements with 24 countries, equal to the total number in the past four years. Chinese passport holders now can travel to more than 50 countries and territories without visas or by obtaining visas upon arrival.

It is more convenient now for people with Chinese passports to travel overseas whenever they wish, he said, hoping their trips easier and safer.

China and US had the similiar agreement before, you can take a look at what's 10-year Chinese M visa looks like.

We all know that US citizens can get 10-year Chinese M visa, but that visa asks its holder to leave China every 2 months, while the 2-year Chinese M visa offers possibility to stay in China upto 90 days each entry. At least avoid your leaving-China trouble for 3 times. It will not only save your money on airplane tickets but also time.

The U.S. and China have agreed to a new, reciprocal 10-year visa policy for tourists and businessmen. The agreement will allow citizens of each country to travel between the two countries for up to 10 years on a single visa.

 The 1st 10-year Chinese visa was issued to American on the 12th Nov 2014.
