The time limit for foreigners to stay in China will be automatically extended by two months.

At present, the epidemic situation in COVID-19 has not only been controlled in China, but also spread abroad. In order to ensure everyone's safety, border management measures in many countries have become stricter. For foreigners who cannot leave the country due to control during the epidemic, China can automatically extend their stay for two months after the expiration.

The duration of foreigners' stay in China will be automatically postponed.

In view of the problem that foreigners' visas in China are about to expire, but they can't leave the country during the epidemic, Liu Haitao, director of the frontier inspection and management department of the State Immigration Administration, said in June 1 that foreigners in China can automatically postpone their stay for two months during the epidemic prevention and control period, and they can still legally stop staying in China or leave the country normally without going through the extension procedures during the extension period.

Special case handling

At the same time, for Chinese and foreign personnel involved in medical assistance, drug research and development, academic exchanges and other epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic work, local public security exit-entry management departments provide 24-hour expedited accreditation services; Foreigners who come to China to participate in epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic exchanges and cooperation or engage in important business and scientific research activities may apply for port visas at the port of entry if they are too late to complete the visas in advance because of urgent matters.

Bidding method

Liu Haitao said that since the epidemic situation is now in the prevention and control period, in order to effectively reduce the flow and gathering of people and reduce the risk of cross-infection, the National Immigration Bureau has also introduced the service measures of "Internet plus government affairs", so that foreigners in China, like China citizens, can enjoy the online application, mail application and instant inquiry services for the adjustment of the immigration policy of the National Immigration Bureau in official website and abroad.

Foreign epidemic prevention and control measures

As of February 29, global data show that the epidemic has spread to 53 countries around the world, covering all continents except Antarctica. The newly confirmed cases outside China have surpassed China for four consecutive days. The risk of epidemic situation cannot be underestimated, and preparations must be made.

The grim situation abroad has brought new challenges to the prevention and control of epidemic situation in China. At present, the epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19, China is in the most critical period. "Spread abroad and prevent proliferation inside" is the basic principle for all localities including Beijing to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, and it is also one of the important experiences in achieving phased results in epidemic prevention and control. To prevent the reverse import of overseas epidemic, all parties concerned must continue to tighten the string of "external prevention of import" and strictly control "import", and must not let the "backward-flowing" epidemic become a "dam-breaking hole" in the previous prevention and control work.
