Excuse me, can civil servants travel abroad for personal reasons?

Civil servants are not prohibited from traveling abroad, but they need the approval of the unit.

1. Cadres at or above the division level of national civil servants belong to the national record-keeping personnel. If you need to apply for a private passport or leave the country for private reasons, you need to get approval from the public security organs and units. As long as it's not a cadre at or above the division level, it's all right.

Some units will take back your personal passport.

3. When you apply for some visas, such as those in Europe, America and Australia, you must provide the employer's employment certificate. In this case, the employer will not provide or is unwilling to provide it.
