Difference between issue date and endorsement date

The endorsement of residence permit refers to a procedure that the holder of residence permit needs to go to the local police station or the community service agency entrusted by the public security organ within one month before the expiration of each year of residence. After going through the endorsement formalities within the specified time, the residence permit will remain valid; If the endorsement formalities are not completed within the time limit, the use function of residence permit will be suspended. The date of issuance of a visa refers to the date when the visa is issued by the visa authority, so as to calculate the validity period and stay period of the visa. This is a very important content, which needs to be remembered in case the visa expires. The date of endorsement is to record the date of issuance of each visa so as to identify the number of valid visas. The number of valid visas refers to one, two or more entry and exit within the time allowed by the validity period or stay period of the visa.

I. What should I pay attention to when applying for a visa:

1, the material is real.

When applying for a visa, the most important thing is that the materials must be absolutely true, and there can be no falsehood or concealment. Otherwise, it is found that there are false reports or false reports, and the consequences are very serious. At the same time, the visa officer will also ask some questions about the materials, so you should know more about the visa so that you can answer them easily.

2. Interview skills

Be sure to keep the appointment on time during the interview, which will leave a good impression on the visa officer. When interviewing, keep smiling, be sincere and natural, and dress neatly. Answer the questions truthfully and explain the purpose of your visit. Take it easy. Otherwise, stuttering in the answer will arouse the suspicion of the visa officer.

3. Relevant property certificates

The powerful credentials for handling tourist visas are real estate, followed by automobile production, followed by stable income credentials and good credit records. The monthly payroll is more convincing than the employment certificate, because experienced visa officers know that such certificates are easy to forge. Fixed assets and stable work are important documents for visa officers to measure your economic strength.

You have to prove that you will definitely come back.

In the opinion of all visa officers, when you submit an application to another country, his duty requires him to acquiesce that you may try to stay first. Canada and the United States, in particular, are indeed ideal immigration destinations for people, and we should take precautions.

5. Agency

Many travel agencies will apply for visas, but don't blindly trust travel agencies. You might as well do everything yourself. Or find a professional visa agency. Don't be too cheap and suffer big losses.

Two. The visa application process for going abroad is as follows:

1. Submit a valid passport.

2. Submit various documents related to the application, such as birth certificate, marital status certificate, education certificate and work experience certificate.

3. Fill in and submit the visa application form. Different visas have different forms. Most of them should be filled out in foreign languages and photos should be provided at the same time.

4. Go to the embassy or consulate in China to meet officials. Some countries stipulate that all immigrant applicants must be interviewed before making a decision; Some countries also require interviews to apply for non-immigrant visas.

5. The embassy or consulate shall submit the completed visa application form and necessary supporting materials to the domestic competent authorities for examination and approval. The embassies and consulates of a few countries have the right to issue visas directly, but they still have to report to China for the record.

6. After going to the competent department of the host country for necessary examination and approval, notify the embassy or consulate of the host country of the examination and approval opinions. If you agree, a visa will be issued. If you refuse, you will also inform the applicant. (For visa refusal, the embassy or consulate will not refund the visa fee. )

7. Pay the visa fee. Generally speaking, when submitting a visa application, you must pay the fee first. In some countries, the fee is charged only after the visa application is successful. Generally speaking, immigrant visa fees are slightly higher and non-immigrant visa fees are slightly lower. There are also some countries and regions that are visa-free.

The date of visa issuance refers to the time when the embassy issues the visa to the applicant. This date is usually written on the first page of a passport. The date of visa issuance is very important visa information. The validity period and stay period of a visa are closely related to the date of issuance. Applicants must remember to avoid forgetting the expiration date of the visa.
