The validity period, stopping device and validity time of the visa.

Visa validity period

Visa has a certain standard format, which generally includes visa type, entry purpose, residence period, effective date, issuing institution, issuing official, date and visa fee.

The validity period of a visa refers to a period of time from the date of issuance of the visa to the future, after which the visa becomes invalid.

Generally, countries issue entry visas valid for 3 months, while some countries issue entry visas valid for 1 month. Some countries have strict restrictions on the validity of visas, such as Germany, which only issues visas according to the date of application. The validity of transit visas is generally short.

Visa stay time

Refers to the time allowed for the holder to stay after entering the country. The difference between it and the visa validity period is that the visa validity period refers to the use period of the visa, that is, the holder can enter and leave the country within the specified time. If a country's entry-exit visa is valid for 3 months and the stay time is 15 days, the visa can enter or leave the country on any day within 3 months from the date of issuance, but the holder can only stay in the country for 15 days from the date of entry to the date of exit. Some countries must enter the country within 3 months after issuance, and the stay period after entry is 1 month; In some countries, the visa entry period and stay period are the same. For example, the validity period and stay period of the American visitor visa is three months, that is, the entrant is valid for three months and can only stay for three months after entering the country. The validity period of the visa is generally 1 month or 3 months; The longest is generally half a year or more than 1 year, such as employment and study visa; The shortest is 3 days or 7 days, such as a transit visa.

Number of valid visas

In addition to the validity period and stay period, the visa also stipulates the number of valid times. Generally, it is divided into one valid visa, two valid visas and multiple valid visas. The number of times a visa is valid means that once it is used within the validity period, it will be invalid. Two valid visas, that is, you can use them twice within the validity period of the visa. Multiple valid visas, that is, within the validity period of the visa, the holder can enter and leave its territory multiple times. For example, some tourist visas for Australia and India allow multiple entry and exit within three or six months. In some countries, work visas are also applicable to multiple entry. Of course, what kind of visa to issue, how long it is valid and how many times it is valid are decided by the visa authority according to the specific situation of the entry applicant.

Entry permit certificate

The entry permit certificate refers to different kinds of documents issued by the entry authorities of various countries for various entry applicants, including the approval letter for allowing immigrants to enter the country, the admission notice of colleges and universities, and the labor certificate for job seekers to agree to enter the country. Entry permit is a kind of certificate indicating the consent of the receiving unit or the competent department, and it is also an important procedure for approving entry.

Some countries implement the entry permit system, that is, the inviter first submits an application to the competent authority of the country of entry on behalf of the applicant, stating the identity of the applicant, the relationship between the two parties and the reasons for entry. Meet the access conditions, the competent department issued an access permit. This entry permit will generally indicate the applicant's name, gender and nationality, and indicate the period of stay in the country.

Some countries implement access guarantee system. All relatives and friends who apply for entry must have legal proof of living security. The life guarantee certificate should indicate not only the relationship between the two parties, but also the property of the guarantor, so as to show that the guarantor has enough assets to guarantee the entry applicant, be able to bear the round-trip travel expenses of the immigrants, be responsible for solving the accommodation expenses of the immigrants during their stay in the country, ensure that the immigrants will not become a burden to the public in the country of entry, and ensure that the immigrants can leave the country on time and return to their original country of residence after the visa expires. The life insurance certificate must be notarized to be valid.

Some immigrant countries issue a kind of labor permit or work permit, that is, the future employer will go through the employment permit formalities with the competent labor department for the entry applicant. The employee's name, gender, nationality, occupation, working years and remuneration are recorded on the labor permit.

Every country issues an admission notice or admission permit to applicants who study abroad. The applicant's name, gender, admission school, professional name, registration time and place, study abroad years, etc. As mentioned above.

The specific procedures for handling the entry permit for foreigners are as follows:

(1). Applicants should contact their relatives and friends abroad to explain their intention to go abroad, whether they want to travel abroad, visit relatives, or study or work at their own expense. If they get the consent of their relatives and friends abroad, they should immediately inform their relatives and friends of their own details and prepare some relevant documents.

(2), relatives and friends to apply to the competent authorities. Foreign relatives and friends apply to the national authorities according to their intention to go abroad and different categories.

(3) Obtain relevant license certificates. After approval, the competent department considers that the applicant meets the access conditions, and then issues an access card to the applicant. Need proof of economic guarantee, and foreign relatives and friends should do a good job of living security. If you immigrate abroad, your relatives and friends abroad shall apply for immigration entry permit.

(4) The applicant applies for an entry visa to the embassy of the destination country with the entry permit and relevant certificates.

How to apply for a foreign visa

Most countries that have diplomatic relations with China have established embassies or consulates in China. The embassy is located in Beijing, the capital, and the Consulate General is located in economically developed central cities, such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenyang and Chengdu. Some countries that do not have embassies or consulates either have consulates in Hong Kong or entrust other countries' embassies and consulates to handle consular affairs.

There are three ways for China citizens to apply for foreign visas abroad for private reasons:

(1), I apply directly to foreign embassies in China;

(2) Entrust the visa office of China Travel Agency to handle it;

(3) Foreign relatives and friends directly apply to the local immigration bureau for entry permit.

The adoption of the above three methods depends on the situation. If I am familiar with the situation, the embassy can directly apply for a visa to embassies and consulates in China if it accepts individual applications; Some countries don't have embassies in China, so foreign relatives and friends should apply for entry permits there. After approval, it will be sent to the applicant by relatives. The applicant can contact the Consulate General of the visiting country in Hong Kong or the embassy authorized by the relevant country to apply for an entry visa with his passport and entry permit.
