The State of Israel is very glad to announce that the Chinese-Israeli 10-year multiple-entry visa agreement will begin to take effect on November 11. This agreement was signed at the second meeting of the China-Israel Joint Committee on Innovation Cooperation this March. Chinese Vice Premier Liu Yandong and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended the signing ceremony.

The Chinese-Israeli 10-year multiple-entry visa agreement is another major move after Israel and China achieved mutual visa waiver for diplomatic and official passport holders this January. According to the agreement, Chinese tourists will be able to have multiple entries to Israel with the duration of each stay within 90 days.

In recent years, Chinese-Israeli relations have been developing rapidly in various fields, including intergovernmental platforms such as the China-Israel Joint Committee on Innovation Cooperation, and cooperation in trade, bilateral investment, culture, academia and tourism. We expect that the visa agreement will continue to strengthen cooperation between the two countries.

China's tourism industry is the fastest growing in the world. The number of Chinese tourists visiting Israel has kept on increasing by 30 percent annually. Israel welcomes Chinese tourists and hopes that this momentum will last long.

"Over the past few years, we have witnessed the development of China-Israel relationship in many aspects such as tourism, investment, academia and cultural exchanges. I believe that with the approaching of the 25th anniversary of the diplomatic ties between China and Israel, the new visa policy will enhance the bilateral relationship between the People of the two countries," said Matan Vilnai, Ambassador of the State of Israel to China.
