Can I apply for a passport in another place? When will the national passport renewal start in other places?

Whether you want to travel to Hong Kong or abroad, a passport is essential during your trip. It is also very troublesome to reissue a passport after it is lost while traveling, but there is new news about passport reissue in another place. When to start

The National Immigration Administration has introduced 22 new measures to improve service management, which will be implemented in phases and in batches before the first quarter of 2019. Among them, five convenient measures will be implemented from September 1, including that mainland residents can apply for replacement (replacement) of entry documents in other places across the country, and that the application for entry and exit documents will be processed within 7 working days. Can I apply for a passport in another place?

Yes.

1. After the implementation of this measure, applicants can apply for the replacement (replacement) of ordinary passports, travel passes to Hong Kong and Macao, and travel passes to Taiwan at any public security entry and exit management agency nationwide. The application procedures are the same as The place of residence is the same.

Previously, the Ministry of Public Security has successively introduced a series of measures to facilitate the application of entry-exit documents in different places. However, due to the conditions at that time, mainland residents applying for entry-exit documents across provinces need to submit documents such as residence, work, schooling, and family relationship certificates. , the threshold is higher, there are many links, and the procedures are complicated.

Qu Yunhai, deputy director of the National Immigration Administration, said that after the implementation of the new policy, applicants from other provinces no longer have to "run back and forth" to replace the issuance of entry documents. Applicants can follow their household registration Application requirements for entry-exit documents in the same place include application for replacement (replacement) of ordinary passports, travel passes to Hong Kong and Macao, and travel passes to Taiwan in different places. It is estimated that about 2.7 million residents enjoy this convenience every year, which can save about 3 billion yuan in round-trip transportation costs alone every year.

2. Applicants holding valid travel passes to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan can apply for group travel endorsements to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan at any public security entry and exit management agency nationwide. The application procedures are consistent with the place of residence. Currently, residents can apply for a group travel endorsement to and from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan at any public security entry and exit management agency in the province (autonomous region, municipality) where their household registration is located. However, with the increasingly frequent inter-provincial population movement, the current regulations that limit the processing of travel visas to and from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in other places within the province can no longer meet the actual needs of cross-provincial (autonomous regions and municipalities) population movements to apply for group travel visas to and from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan nearby.

After the implementation of the new policy, mainland residents can apply for group travel endorsements to and from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan at any public security entry and exit management agency nationwide in accordance with the same entry and exit document application regulations as their place of residence. Travel is "just go". Qu Yunhai said that it is estimated that about 7.8 million residents enjoy the convenience of handling group travel procedures for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in other places every year. The round-trip transportation costs alone can save about 9 billion yuan in public expenditures every year.

3. Starting from September 1, the time limit for issuance of ordinary passports, passes to and from Hong Kong and Macao, and passes to and from Taiwan for mainland residents at their place of residence has been shortened to 7 working days. According to the provisions of the "Passport Law of the People's Republic of China", "Interim Measures for the Administration of Chinese Citizens Traveling to Hong Kong or Macao for Private Matters", and "Measures for the Administration of Chinese Citizens Traveling to and from Taiwan", the public security entry and exit administration agencies shall approve the issuance of ordinary passports and travel documents. The time limits for the Hong Kong and Macao Pass and the Taiwan Travel Permit are 15 days, 60 days, and 30 days respectively.

In order to meet the growing demand for traveling abroad, in the past period, the Ministry of Public Security has successively issued relevant regulations to shorten the time limit for permit application. On this basis, the National Immigration Administration further simplifies procedures, optimizes the approval process, uses information technology to speed up the approval and issuance of certificates, and decides to set the time limit for the approval and issuance of ordinary passports, passes to and from Hong Kong and Macao, and passes to and from Taiwan for mainland residents at their place of residence. The working days are shortened to 7 working days to maximize the convenience for people to apply for travel permits.

4. The public security entry and exit management agency provides immediate acceptance and approval convenience for foreigners who encounter the following three situations: For foreigners who have lost their passports and urgently need to apply for a visa to leave the country, they must present a letter explaining the matter provided by the inviting unit, Airplane (car, ship) tickets with confirmed dates and seats will be accepted and approved immediately; foreign crew members and their accompanying family members who urgently need to apply for stay documents to leave the port city and transfer out of the country can do so with the letter of guarantee from the shipping agency and the flight (car, ship) tickets with confirmed dates and seats. If members of a foreign tour group urgently need to apply for a group visa to leave the country separately, they will be immediately accepted for review and approval based on the letter explaining the reason provided by the receiving travel agency and the flight (car, boat) tickets with confirmed dates and seats.

The "Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Entry and Exit Administration of Foreigners" stipulates that when foreigners apply for visa extension, replacement (reissue) and stay documents, the public security entry and exit management agency shall work in 7 Accepted for issuance within days.

Foreigners living and working in China often lose their passports and need to apply for a new visa to leave the country. If the corresponding visa and stay permit are issued within the prescribed time limit, it may affect the applicant's itinerary. To this end, the National Immigration Administration has decided to provide immediate acceptance and approval of visa and stay permit applications for foreigners who encounter the above-mentioned special circumstances, and make timely approval or disapproval decisions. After the implementation of the new policy, it is estimated that nearly 30,000 foreigners will be able to enjoy the convenience of urgent matters every year.
