Why did the passport stop? When did it start?

Passports were suspended due to the obvious rebound of overseas epidemic. The suspension of passports is only temporary. Unless necessary, strictly restrict the cross-border movement of non-emergency and non-essential personnel and strictly examine and approve entry permit documents. Those who apply for study abroad, employment, business and other people who have real needs will be accepted in time and issued with entry and exit certificates after verification. As long as it is confirmed that there is a need for studying abroad, employment and business, and the audit information is true, the Immigration Bureau will also handle the documents for the applicant. As long as sufficient necessary evidence is provided, it can still be handled. When to apply for a passport, the regulations in each region are different, and it is decided according to the epidemic prevention and control policy.
