Travel to China becomes more affordable: a Chinese visa center will be opened in Kazan

In early 2025, a Chinese visa center will be opened in the capital of Tatarstan, which will directly issue various types of visas to the Celestial Empire. Now the permission to enter China can be obtained only through the Consulate General of China in Kazan, as well as in visa centers in Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

Kazan also recently launched direct flights to Shanghai for the first time: the Shanghai-Kazan-Shanghai flight will be operated every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The new route became 40% cheaper than flights with a connection in Moscow, and also reduced the travel time from 18 to 9 hours.
