Are there any restrictions on the countries I can go to when applying for a passport?

No restrictions. A passport is a legal document issued by the country to prove the nationality and identity of a country's citizens when they enter and exit the country's borders, travel or stay abroad. A passport is a form of identification that allows citizens to travel through international ports in various countries. Therefore, some countries in the world usually issue pass documents in lieu of passports.

Since April 1, 2019, the ordinary passports of the People’s Republic of China and the People’s Republic of China have been “universal”, that is, mainland residents can apply for entry-exit documents at any entry-exit management window across the country. The application procedures are consistent with the place of residence. Starting from July 1, 2019, the fee for ordinary passports for personal use will be reduced from 160 yuan/book to 120 yuan/book.

Passport application conditions:

The application process for areas that apply for passports based on conditions is basically similar to those for areas that apply for passports on demand. The differences are The point is that before submitting the application form, a political review needs to be conducted at the police station where the applicant is registered or the company where the applicant works has the right to conduct a political review. The application form can only be submitted after passing the political review.

Police stations in some of these areas also require applicants to obtain a criminal record certificate before requesting political review. Therefore, applicants need to submit their household register, original and copy of their ID card, and passport application form during political review. Sometimes, they also need to submit a certificate issued by their workplace or company.

As a result, the time for political review is increased during the entire passport application process. At the same time, the trial time for submitting the passport application form to the local immigration administration agency to collect the passport is also longer than in areas where passports are applied for on demand.
