Could you please update the map (+South Sudan, new Visa Free countries i.e. Kazakhstan)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.88.253.21 (talk) 08:31, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

El Salvador?

El Salvador is listed as visa-free in the map but not listed anywhere in the article. Is there any information for Salvadoran passport holders? Wingedbeaver (talk) 04:06, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Albania

No more visa restriction to Albanian citizens as what the govt says.

That's not news, it's from 2012 and it's already in the article.--Twofortnights (talk) 07:53, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Irreverent details on the "unconditional stay" section

The part describing the residence case of the Filipino maids in the "Unconditional stay" section has no relevance with the visa policy and is incomplete. Probably best to remove the part completely. C-GAUN (talk) 04:46, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rename proposal from Visa policy of Hong Kong to Visa policy of the Hong Kong SAR

As the greater China is usually divided into three territories (excluding Taiwan), it makes more sense if the following pages are renamed to be more clear, legally or for the reader's eye and for the sake of accuracy.

Visa policy of China to Visa policy of mainland China

Visa policy of Hong Kong to Visa policy of the Hong Kong SAR

Visa policy of Macau to Visa policy of the Macau SAR

Thank you. S 0524 (talk) 05:07, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand the desire to make it as clear as possible, but since there isn't any other 'Hong Kong' (nor 'Macao') to be confused with, I feel that this is just adding extra, unnecessary information. I think the current title is clear and there's no real need to change it. Kdm852 (talk) 05:22, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, there is nothing wrong with the current titles, which are in line with other Hong Kong/Macau articles across Wikipedia. The proposed titles do not make things "more clear" because the term "SAR" is not readily understood by most readers. Citobun (talk) 05:41, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed: As per WP:COMMONNAME, it's best this article remains "Visa policy of Hong Kong" and not renamed, the same goes for "Visa policy of Macau" no to be renamed as per WP:COMMONNAME. This proposal is withdrawn by me. S 0524 (talk) 06:05, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

However, a part of this discussion is moved to Talk:Visa policy of China#Renaming this Wiki to 'Visa Policy of Mainland China' for discussion for renaming Visa policy of China into to Visa policy of mainland China. S 0524 (talk) 06:05, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
