What if my passport has expired?

After the passport expires, you must apply to the entry-exit administration for a new passport. The following information is required to replace an ordinary passport:

1, photos that meet the standards of the Guide to Photographing Entry and Exit Documents;

2, China citizens entry and exit documents application form;

3. Resident identity card; During the collection, renewal and replacement of resident identity cards, temporary resident identity cards may be submitted;

4. Submit the original and photocopy of the ordinary passport.

5. If a China citizen who has settled abroad returns to China for a short period of time to apply for the renewal of an ordinary passport, he must also submit a valid certificate of settlement abroad and a temporary residence permit issued by the public security organ in his temporary residence.

There are three ways for China citizens to apply for foreign visas:

1. I apply directly to foreign embassies and consulates in China;

2. Entrust the visa office of China Travel Agency (generally limited to tourist visas);

3. Foreign relatives and friends apply for visas directly to the country's immigration bureau.

The adoption of the above three methods depends on the situation. If I am familiar with the situation and the embassy accepts individual applications, I can apply for a visa directly to embassies and consulates in China. Some countries don't have embassies in China, so foreign relatives and friends should apply for entry permits there. After approval, relatives will send it to the applicant, and the applicant can start his journey abroad with his passport and returned visa.

Foreign consulates in China are responsible for applying for visas to their countries for people in their territories. Therefore, visa applicants should know in advance about going to China's embassies, consulates and jurisdictions.
