With the rapid development of China's economy and society, the national population movement is becoming more and more frequent, and the number of off-site employment, off-site schooling and entrepreneurship, and off-site pension is increasing. There is an increasing demand for people to apply for entry and exit documents in different places.

It is estimated that in 20 19, more than 2 1 10,000 people will apply for entry and exit documents in different places, and it will increase substantially year by year in the future.

The implementation of the "National General Office" has reformed and adjusted the previous practice of handling entry and exit documents at the place of residence. In the future, mainland residents no longer need to go back and forth to their places of residence to apply for permits, which not only saves time and cost, but also saves the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation, effectively reducing the burden of people doing business. It is estimated that transportation alone will save more than 20 billion yuan for the people in the first year.

At the same time, foreign employees of relevant companies and enterprises no longer need to go back to their registered residence to apply for entry and exit documents, which is conducive to reducing the losses caused by employees' vacation, shutdown and production reduction, improving the efficiency of handling entry and exit documents for business activities, effectively saving management costs, enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises and creating a better business environment for enterprise development.
