China Announces Visa Waiver for Australian Travelers Amid Broader International Policy Changes

Starting July 1, India will implement new criminal laws replacing colonial-era legislation, introducing offenses like organized crime and mob lynching while decriminalizing adultery and homosexual sex. Concurrently, Australia's migration strategy will revise its Graduate visa program to better align qualifications with visa streams. Malaysia's visa-free policy for 134 countries, including India and China, aims to boost tourism and business travel, targeting 35.6 million visitors by 2026. Additionally, China has announced a visa waiver for Australian travelers, allowing 15-day visa-free visits and reciprocal multi-entry visas, enhancing bilateral relations and reducing travel costs. These policy changes reflect broader trends in international mobility and legal reform, impacting tourism, education, and economic ties.
