In 2020, China's entry and exit business will gradually resume with relevant policies.

In 2020, China's entry and exit business has been greatly controlled, and the business of visa centers in various countries has also been greatly restricted. According to the current conditions, the National Immigration Bureau has announced that it will gradually resume its entry and exit business in China.

China's entry and exit business has gradually resumed. First, the public security entry-exit window service resumed in an orderly manner. Implement differentiated prevention and control strategies and restore public security entry and exit window services in an orderly manner. Low-risk areas will fully resume public security entry and exit window services from now on; Medium-risk areas will gradually restore public security entry-exit window services as appropriate; Set up emergency appointment service in high-risk areas and accept applications for examination and approval of urgently needed cases. When the public security exit-entry window is reopened, we should actively provide China citizens with high-quality services such as application documents and visas for going abroad, and provide high-quality services for foreigners to invest, trade and start businesses in China.

Second, extend the residence period of some foreigners in China. During the epidemic prevention and control period, foreigners who continue to engage in innovation, entrepreneurship and scientific research in China will automatically extend their residence in China for two months after their visas or residence permits expire, without going through the extension procedures. The above-mentioned persons may legally stop staying in China or leave the country normally during the extension period.

Third, apply for re-entry visas for foreigners in China in advance. During the epidemic prevention and control period, foreigners in China may apply for re-entry visas in advance if they need to leave the country temporarily for short-term participation in business, trade, scientific research, academic exchanges and other activities before returning; If the residence permit held by foreigners in China has expired, they may apply for a port visa with the original residence permit.

4. Apply for port visas for foreigners who invest, start businesses and trade in China. Foreigners who need to come to China for urgent reasons such as investment, entrepreneurship, trade, etc. can apply for port visas with the invitation letter from relevant enterprises and institutions. If there is no port visa office at the port of entry, the entry-exit frontier inspection organ shall handle the temporary entry permit for it. After foreigners enter the country, the exit-entry administration department of the public security organ shall handle visas and stay and residence certificates in time according to law.

Five, actively provide entry and exit convenience for Chinese and foreign personnel involved in epidemic prevention and control. For Chinese and foreign personnel involved in medical rescue, drug research and development, material supply, academic exchanges and other epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic work, we will insist on providing 24-hour expedited accreditation service. Foreigners who come to China to participate in epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic work may, according to the needs of their work, issue residence permits for corresponding periods; Those who have made important contributions to epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic work and apply for permanent residence in China shall be given priority in examination and approval.

Take the initiative to provide online application for entry and exit documents for Chinese and foreign personnel. Mainland residents can submit applications for entry and exit documents online, and foreigners can submit visas, stop residence certificates or permanent residence applications by email and mail. International flights entering and leaving Hong Kong can declare passenger information online without submitting paper declaration documents.

Seven, give priority to the resumption of production personnel to apply for permission endorsement. Chinese and foreign personnel who need to enter or leave the country when the enterprise resumes work and production have priority in accepting and approving entry and exit documents. For those who need to enter and leave the country in time, the border inspection authorities provide fast customs clearance services.

Eight, give priority to providing fast and convenient customs clearance for import and export materials. We will continue to carry out "zero waiting" inspection and release of the means of transport for transporting epidemic prevention materials, international import and export commodities and fresh agricultural products. International sailing ships transporting the above-mentioned materials and commodities may operate at the port of entry and go through the border inspection formalities in advance when leaving the country. At land border ports, special passages are set up for cross-border transport vehicles transporting the above-mentioned materials and commodities, giving priority to customs clearance.

Nine, take the initiative to provide Chinese and foreign personnel with entry-exit management policy adjustment inquiry service. Through the "push-to-talk entry and exit information", we will provide a reminder service for the vast number of entry-exit personnel to adjust and change the entry-exit management policies at home and abroad during the epidemic prevention and control period, inform and remind the relevant countries and regions of temporary entry control measures and the opening of China's ports in a timely manner, so as to facilitate relevant enterprises and entry-exit personnel to arrange their trips reasonably and avoid unnecessary losses.

Ten, strengthen the entry-exit window and customs clearance site epidemic prevention and epidemic prevention work. Strictly implement epidemic prevention regulations at all entry and exit windows, passages and places open to the outside world, and seriously and strictly implement public health and safety management measures in public places and crowded places to prevent the spread of the epidemic; Strictly control the country, improve the joint prevention and control mechanism at the port, inform the customs inspection and quarantine department of relevant early warning information in time, and actively cooperate with the inspection, isolation and observation measures for entry-exit personnel; Strengthen the publicity of epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic knowledge for the vast number of entry-exit personnel, and provide necessary safety protection articles for entry-exit personnel who temporarily lack or forget to wear masks during travel.
