Permanent visa-free entry for Chinese citizens here!

Svalbard Archipelago: One of the few places on Earth where polar bears outnumber humans, a hidden Arctic paradise 📍Where is Svalbard? Under Norwegian sovereignty, but Chinese citizens can freely enter, stay without a visa, and even settle here! Glaciers, northern lights, polar bears... this place fulfills all your Arctic fantasies 📜Historical fun fact: In 1925, the Beiyang Government signed the "Svalbard Treaty," making China a signatory nation. While Norway has sovereignty over the archipelago, Chinese citizens can freely enter, conduct scientific research, and do business. In 2004, China established its first Arctic research station here—the Yellow River Station! 🛂Visa-free ≠ Direct flights With a Chinese passport, you can enter Svalbard directly without a Norwegian visa. However, the archipelago has no direct flights to China, so you must transfer through Norway (Oslo/Tromsø). Since entering Norway requires a Schengen visa, the "visa-free" privilege applies only after arriving in Svalbard, where you can stay indefinitely. You'll still need to arrange a Schengen visa before your journey. Svalbard · Norway
