Can I apply for a passport repeatedly?

In principle, a person cannot have more than one passport. When you provide your ID number to the immigration office, when people input your ID card into the computer, they will immediately show that you have another passport. This is the same as applying for an ID card. Can I get two ID cards? Passport is also the only proof of identity abroad. How can there be two copies at the same time?

Generally speaking, the requirement for a national visa is that "the passport is valid for at least 2 months", that is to say, you can still apply for a visa even if your passport is only valid for 2 months. In your case, when your passport expires in 2009, you can apply for a new passport at the Embassy of China, and the foreign immigration authorities will stamp something similar to a visa on your new passport, so there is no need for further examination.

Of course, if you think it is troublesome to do so, you can also apply for reporting the loss of your passport now and apply for a new one in China, so as to avoid the trouble of going to foreign embassies in the future, because the city you go to may not be the capital and there may be no embassies and consulates in China, so you may need to take time off to go to another city, which is more troublesome.
