What convenience does the new visa category provide?

According to the entry and exit situation, it can be divided into six categories: exit visa, entry visa, entry visa, re-entry visa and transit visa. The exit visa only allows the holder to leave the country. If it is necessary to enter the country, another entry visa is required. The entry visa only allows the holder to enter the country, and if he needs to leave the country, he must apply for an exit visa again. Holders of entry-exit visas can leave or re-enter the country. Holders of multiple entry and exit visas can be allowed to enter and leave the country within the validity period of the visa.

According to the routine of entry and exit, it can be divided into: diplomatic visa, official visa, immigrant visa, non-immigrant visa, courtesy visa, tourist visa, work visa, study visa, business visa and family visa. Every country is different.

According to the length of time, it is divided into: long-term visa and short-term visa. The concept of a long-term visa is to stay in the destination country for more than 3 months. It usually takes a long time to apply for a long-term visa, regardless of the purpose of the visit. A visa that stays in the destination country for no more than 3 months is called a short-term visa, and it takes a relatively short time to apply for a short-term visa.

According to the number of entry, it can be divided into: single entry visa and multiple entry visa.

According to the number of users, it can be divided into individual visa and group visa.

According to the convenience provided for the holder: there are separate visas, visas on arrival, etc.

Visas in most countries in the world are divided into diplomatic visas, official visas and ordinary visas.

There are four kinds of visas in People's Republic of China (PRC): diplomatic visa, courtesy visa, official visa and ordinary visa, which are issued to foreigners who apply for entry.

Immigrant and non-immigrant visas can be divided into immigrant visas and non-immigrant visas according to the applicant's entry purpose. Obtaining an immigrant visa means that the applicant has obtained the permanent residence in the country where he goes, and after living for a certain period of time, he can become a legal citizen of that country. Non-immigrant visas can be divided into business, labor, study abroad, tourism, medical care and other categories.

Anti-visa means that the inviter fills in the visa approval certificate for the visitors in the entry-exit administration department of the country where he goes, and then submits it to the embassy or consulate of the country where he goes together with the applicant's passport, application form and other materials. The embassies and consulates of the visiting countries issue visas on the applicant's passport with the approval materials, and do not seek the opinions of relevant domestic departments. Generally speaking, getting a countersignature means that entry is approved, and there is no need to wait too long after the passport is sent to the country's embassy in China. Most countries that implement counter-signing are in Asia, such as Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.

Port visa refers to applying for a visa at the port of entry of the destination country (also known as visa on arrival). Generally speaking, to apply for a port visa, the inviter needs to apply to the entry-exit administration department of the host country in advance, and after approval, a copy of the approval certificate will be sent to the visitors. The latter left the country with this card and obtained a visa when arriving at the port of the destination country. The countries that issue port visas to foreign citizens are mainly some countries in West Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Oceania.

Another paper visa Another paper visa is also a form of visa. Generally speaking, a visa is usually signed or labeled on the inside of a passport, while another paper visa is endorsed separately on special paper outside the passport. Its function is the same as the visa endorsed on the passport, but it must be used at the same time as the passport.

Mutual visa exemption is developed with the continuous development of international relations and tourism in various countries to facilitate friendly exchanges between citizens of various countries. According to the agreement signed by the foreign ministries of the two countries, citizens of both sides can freely enter and leave each other's territory with valid national passports, without applying for visas. Visa exemption can be divided into complete visa exemption and partial visa exemption.

Transit visa When citizens of a country travel internationally, they often have to go through one or two countries before they can finally reach their destination. At this time, it is necessary to obtain not only the entry permit of the country, but also the transit permit of the country, which is the so-called transit visa. The regulations on transit visas vary from country to country. Many countries stipulate that all foreigners who enter a third country through the country need to apply for a visa regardless of the length of their stay. According to international practice, if there are no special restrictions, citizens of a country should be issued with transit visas as long as they hold valid passports, entry visas or joint air tickets.
