These 5 new initiatives mainly include:
The first is to relax the conditions for foreign nationals to apply for port visas. For foreign nationals who urgently need to come to China to engage in non-diplomatic and official activities such as business and trade cooperation, visits and exchanges, investment and entrepreneurship, visiting relatives and handling personal affairs, and do not have time to apply for visas abroad, they can apply for port visas to enter the country with the invitation letter and other relevant supporting materials.
Second, foreign nationals are exempted from inspection procedures for 24-hour direct transit at hub airports such as Beijing Capital Airport. At 9 international airports in Beijing, Beijing, Daxing, Shanghai, Xiaoshan, Xiamen, Guangzhou, Baoan, Chengdu, and Xi'an, 24-hour direct transit passengers are exempted from border inspection procedures. For inbound and outbound passengers holding international connecting tickets within 24 hours and transiting through any of the above airports to a third country or region, they can directly transit without a visa without going through border inspection procedures.
Third, foreign nationals in China can apply for visa extension and reissuance nearby. Foreign nationals who come to China for a short period of time to engage in non-diplomatic or official activities such as business and trade cooperation, visits and exchanges, investment and entrepreneurship, visiting relatives, sightseeing and tourism, and handling personal affairs, and who need to continue to stay in China for legitimate and reasonable reasons, may apply to the exit-entry administration of the public security organ at the place of stay for visa extension and reissuance.
Fourth, foreign nationals in China can apply for re-entry visas if they need to enter and exit the country multiple times. Foreign nationals in China who need to enter and exit the country multiple times for legitimate and reasonable reasons may apply to the exit-entry administration of the public security organ for the renewal of a valid multiple-entry visa with the invitation letter and other relevant supporting materials.
Fifth, the application materials for visas and certificates for foreign nationals in China will be simplified. When applying for a visa certificate, foreign nationals who can inquire about their accommodation registration records, business licenses and other information through information sharing are exempted from inspecting the relevant paper certification materials; Foreign nationals in China who apply for short-term family visit and reunion visas can substitute the family relationship declaration of the inviter with the proof of kinship.
According to the relevant person in charge of the National Immigration Administration, as China's economic development continues to recover and improve, and the level of opening up continues to expand, Chinese and foreign enterprises and personnel have put forward many new needs for deepening immigration management services. The National Immigration Administration will take the initiative to cooperate with relevant competent authorities to continue to focus on the stuck points of foreigners coming to China for business, study and tourism, continue to deepen the reform of immigration management services and policy and institutional innovation, accelerate institutional opening-up, actively participate in the creation of a first-class business environment, and actively serve to promote the construction of a new development pattern. ** CCTV News
