New facilitation measures have been introduced for citizens of Turkmenistan planning to travel to China. According to official information from the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Turkmenistan, Turkmenistan nationals will be able to obtain short-term Chinese visas without submitting fingerprint data until 31 December 2026.
This simplified procedure applies to all short-term visas issued for a period of up to 180 days. Applicants from Turkmenistan will be exempt from providing biometric information, including fingerprints, which significantly streamlines the visa application process and supports closer cooperation between China and Turkmenistan.
However, for citizens of Turkmenistan who intend to reside in China and apply for residence permits after entry, the existing requirements remain unchanged. Applicants for D, J1, Q1, S1, X1 and Z visa categories will still be required to submit fingerprints in accordance with established regulations.

Simple Vitamin Shows Surprising Results in Pre-Cancerous Blood Conditions, Study Finds
Today in 02:02Daily high-dose supplementation of vitamin C can significantly reduce mortality risks and help prevent severe medical complications in patients with pre-cancerous blood conditions. Researchers from the Van Andel Institute in the United States and Copenhagen University Hospital in Denmark reached this conclusion following a comprehensive three-year follow-up study. The international "EVITA" trial involved volunteers who were administered 1,000 mg of vitamin C daily over the course of a year, while a control group received a placebo.
Although initial hypotheses suggested vitamin C might directly inhibit abnormal cell proliferation, researchers found its primary benefit lay in strengthening the body, reducing systemic inflammation, and lowering rates of anemia, pneumonia, and internal bleeding. Over the three-year observation period, the vitamin C group exhibited a significantly higher survival rate compared to the placebo group. While experts emphasize that these findings remain preliminary and require larger clinical trials before reshaping formal medical treatment protocols, vitamin C continues to show promising potential in supportive patient care.
