The new year has just begun, and have you planned where to travel this year? Following the visa exemption for the UK and Ireland, the long-awaited Schengen visa exemption for Europe will officially take effect on January 11, allowing visa-free travel to all 35 European countries. Not only can you save up to 2,500 yuan in visa fees, but you’ll also avoid 5–7 days of processing time. Coupled with the depreciation of the euro, more consumers are now tempted to visit Europe, and the travel industry expects a surge in European travel.
