China and Singapore will exempt each other from visas starting from February 9

Representatives from the government of the People's Republic of China and the government of the Republic of Singapore signed the "Agreement between the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Government of the Republic of Singapore on Mutual Exemption of Visa Requirements for Ordinary Passport Holders." The agreement will officially take effect on February 9, 2024 (Chinese New Year's Eve). At that time, ordinary passport holders from both sides can enter each other's country without a visa for private affairs such as tourism, visiting relatives, and business, with a stay of no more than 30 days. For activities such as work and news reporting in the other country that require prior approval, as well as for stays exceeding 30 days, the corresponding visa must be obtained before entering the other country.
