Category III: Updating Passport Information

According to the different situation of each applicant, the validity period of the visa granted by the embassy or consulate is different. At present, it is generally a 1 year multiple-entry visa.

How to handle it: after replacing your new passport, fill in the 929 form and send it to by email.

And provide the applicant's autograph and date.

The fourth category: Schengen visas have different policies in different countries. The common validity periods of Schengen multiple-entry visas range from 1 month and 3 months to 1 year. You can also get a five-year multiple-entry visa if you meet the requirements. Multiple-entry Schengen visas will no longer be subject to these regulations from the second time, except that they must be issued abroad in the main country of stay for the first time.

France: show the old and new passports and valid visas on the old passports; Solution: The website of the French Embassy in China does not explain the visa processing after the passport expires, but according to the experience of netizens, France does not need to apply for visa renewal. After replacing a new passport, you only need to show the old and new passports and the French visa on the old passport every time you use it.

Germany: use old and new passports or apply for visa transfer; Treatment: According to the website of the German Embassy in China, multiple Schengen visas that are still valid in the applicant's old passport can be used together with the new valid passport. You can also apply to transfer your Schengen visa to a new passport. If necessary, you can contact the German embassy or consulate in charge of your residence by email. Countries in Schengen can issue multiple round-trip visas according to their own standards, but there are different regulations on visa processing after the passport expires. There is no official explanation on the websites of embassies in some countries, and travelers who have been there in person have different opinions. So I suggest you call the consulate or send an email to confirm, so as not to affect the trip.

Category 5: The visa will expire before the passport expires.

1. Canada: the visa is valid until the passport expires; Canadian multiple-entry visas issued to China passport holders are valid for up to 10 years. It should be noted that according to the website of the Canadian Visa Center, the validity period of the visa will not exceed the remaining validity period of the passport. If your passport still expires in six years, then the Canadian visa you are applying for now is valid for a six-year multiple-entry visa and you can stay in Canada for six months at a time. If your passport expires in three years, you can get a valid visa for up to three years. After 3 years, when you want to get a new passport, if you want to go to Canada again, you must apply for a new visa. If it is a new passport, you can get a real 10 visa. Solution: In theory, multiple-entry visas in Canada will expire before the passport expires, and there is no question of whether the visa needs to be re-signed after the passport expires.

2. Israel: the visa is valid until the passport expires;

Since 2016 1 1 October11,China countries have issued entry visas to Israeli citizens who travel to Israel for business or personal travel and hold ordinary passports for more than ten years. This visa is not applicable to visa applications for work, study, workers' visiting relatives and group tours. A ten-year visa is valid for a maximum of ten years, from the date of issuance of the visa to six months before the expiration of the passport. If the visa is signed at sunrise on 2016 1 1, the passport will be valid until 2025 1 1, and the visa will be valid until May 202511. When replacing a new passport, the 10 visa on the old passport will also become invalid and need to be re-applied. Solution: In theory, Israel's multiple-entry visa will expire before the passport expires, and there is no question of whether it needs to be re-signed after the passport expires.

Generally speaking, when the staff invalidates the old passport, they will cut off a corner of the passport with scissors, usually the whole one. However, there is still a valid visa on the passport. Just talk to the staff and ask them to keep the visa page that is still valid intact and cut corners on the rest. In addition, whether it is necessary to apply for visa transfer or not, don't dispose of the visa paper pasted on the old passport without permission. If the destination country needs to show the old and new passports and valid visas affixed to the old passports before entering the country, it must ensure that the old passports are not defiled (except cutting corners). In addition, when the passport expires, you should choose "replacement" instead of "replacement". If you have any other questions, you can call the consulate or inquire on the consulate website.
