On March 1, the Agreement between the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Government of the Kingdom of Thailand on Mutual Visa Exemption for Holders of Ordinary Passports officially came into effect. This signifies that China and Thailand have officially entered the "visa-free era", making travel more convenient for people and facilitating smoother trade between the two countries. As China's visa-free "scope" continues to expand, the "value" of the Chinese passport is also on the rise. (Bo)
