China announced it would resume visa approval for foreign tourists from March 15, 2023, allowing overseas people to travel to China. However, it should be noted that detailed itinerary arrangements, irrevocable air tickets, hotel reservations or invitation letters must be provided to apply for the Tourist Visa.
After buying flight tickets, booking accommodation, and applying for a visa, the next step is to exchange money at Money Changer?! But, no, it’s more convenient to pay with e-wallets now! Especially in China’s first- and second-tier cities, cashless payment has become the norm.
Earlier, Touch ‘n Go announced that it would expand its cross-border payment function to mainland China. Through the cooperation with Alipay+, everyone will be able to pay through Touch ‘n Go eWallet when they come to China in the future!
