Matters needing attention in handling passports and visas:

1. You should apply for your passport in advance, give the passport issuing authority enough time, and don't wait until the date of going abroad is near, so as not to delay things.

2. The agent and the holder should carefully check the name, gender and place of birth on the passport when they receive the passport, check whether the Chinese pinyin is correct, and whether the seal and signature of the issuing authority are complete. The holder shall sign the passport holder's signature column with a pen. If the name on the passport is wrong, you will not sign it for the time being and report it to the issuing authority.

Passport is an important identity document for people going abroad. Passport holders should take good care of it, and all items on the passport should not be defiled or altered.

4. When China citizens enter the UK, they should bring their passports, air tickets, admission notices, invitations, proof of funds and other important information such as the UK address and telephone number, which should not be put in the checked baggage.

When the plane is about to arrive in Britain, the flight attendants usually provide the British entry card and customs declaration form. Please fill them out and put them together with your passport, visa, admission notice and invitation letter, and hand them over to the British immigration officer for inspection when you arrive at the port of entry.
