How long does it take to issue a visa after fingerprint identification?

After fingerprint identification, it usually takes some time to receive the visa results. The specific time varies according to the visa type, the number of applicants, the efficiency of the visa center and other factors. Generally speaking, the visa processing time in off-peak period is 2-3 working days, and it may take longer in peak period (such as summer vacation and winter vacation). In addition, factors such as visa type and the applicant's situation will also affect the visa processing time. I suggest you leave enough time when you apply for a visa, so as not to delay your plan. If you have urgent needs, you can contact the visa center or relevant departments to understand the specific process and cost of expedited handling.

Visa type

1。 There are three kinds of visas: diplomatic visa, official visa and ordinary visa. That is, issuing diplomatic visas to diplomatic passport holders; Official visas are issued to holders of official passports; Ordinary passport issues ordinary visa.

2。 According to the entry and exit situation, it can be divided into exit visa, entry visa, entry visa and re-entry visa. For exit visas, only the holder is allowed to leave the country. If you need entry, you need an entry visa. Entry visa: only the holder is allowed to enter the country. If he needs to leave the country, he must apply for an exit visa again. Entry-exit visa: the holder can leave or re-enter the country. Multiple entry and exit visas: holders can enter and leave the country within the validity period of the visa.

3。 According to the reasons for entry and exit, it is divided into: immigrant visa, non-immigrant visa, study visa, tourist visa, work visa, business visa and family visa.

4。 According to the length of time, it is divided into long-term visas and short-term visas. The concept of a long-term visa is to stay in the destination country for more than 3 months. It usually takes a long time to apply for a long-term visa, regardless of the purpose of the visit. A visa that stays in the destination country for no more than 3 months is called a short-term visa, and it takes a relatively short time to apply for a short-term visa. China's visas mainly include diplomatic visas, courtesy visas, official visas and ordinary visas, which are issued to foreigners who apply for entry.

Will passport fingerprints enter the public security database?

Keeping the biometric information of entry-exit personnel is an important measure to strengthen entry-exit management. At present, many countries including the United States, Japan and Singapore have implemented this measure. Biometric information includes not only fingerprints, but also the unique physiological characteristics of human body such as face and iris.

China border inspection authorities will keep fingerprints of foreigners aged 14 (inclusive) to 70 (inclusive) at ports open to the outside world. You only need to check the entry fingerprint with the fingerprint record of the domestic ID card to find out whether it is coincident. Once found out, those who have been naturalized abroad but have not cancelled their domestic household registration will be dealt with.
