Portugal has expressed its desire to be part of China’s visa-free travel scheme, with the country communicating its intentions to the Chinese authorities.
The Minister of Economy of Portugal, Pedro Reis, said for Lusa that the government has already signaled to China that it would like to be included in the list of countries whose citizens are permitted entry without the need to obtain a visa, VisaGuide.World reports.
Portugal has signaled this matter, that we would very much like to be included in the group of countries [that are exempted from the visa requirements].
According to Minister Reis, the inclusion of Portugal in the visa-free scheme would not only have a positive impact on travel and tourism but also on the cooperation between the two countries.
On the other hand, China has not yet announced any further expansion of the list.
