China-Singapore Jingwei, January 11 -- The National Immigration Administration has introduced five measures to facilitate foreigners to come to China, including relaxing the conditions for foreigners to apply for port visas in China, and exempting foreigners from 24-hour direct border inspection procedures at hub airports such as Beijing Capital Airport.
On the 11th, at the press conference of the State Council Information Office, Liu Haitao, deputy director of the National Immigration Administration, said that the National Immigration Administration will launch five measures to facilitate foreigners to come to China from now on, and actively cooperate with relevant departments to further break through the relevant blockages for foreigners to do business, study and tourism in China, so as to better serve and ensure high-level opening up and promote high-quality development. The 5 measures are as follows:
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 cooperation, visits and exchanges, investment and entrepreneurship, visiting relatives and handling private affairs, and do not have time to apply for visas abroad, they can apply for port visas with the port visa authorities with the invitation letter and other relevant supporting materials.
Second, foreign nationals are exempted from inspection procedures 24 hours a day at hub airports such as Beijing Capital Airport. At Beijing Capital Airport, Beijing Daxing Airport, Shanghai Pudong Airport, Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport, Xiamen Gaoqi Airport, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, Shenzhen Bao'an Airport, Chengdu Tianfu Airport, Xi'an Xianyang Airport, and the above nine international airports, 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-mentioned 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 nearest 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 make a declaration of kinship of the inviter in lieu of the certificate of kinship.
