How long does it take to go abroad to visit relatives, what procedures do you need to go through and what is the process?

Generally, it takes less than 90 days or 180 days and 365 days to get approval from the destination country to visit relatives abroad. That is, people usually say three months or six months or a year. You can apply for an extension there, and if there is enough reason, you can get an extension (certificate).

Take the United States as an example Before 20 1 4110 months, the validity period of American visiting visas was generally 3 months, half a year or1year. Take this passport in my hand as an example. The issue date is 2065438+May 8, 2003, and the expiration date is 2065438+May 6, 2004. Actually, less than a year. To be precise, it is a visa valid for less than one year. It means that you can enter the United States during this period. The specific stay time is subject to the approval time determined by the US border staff according to the remaining validity period and itinerary of your visa at the time of entry.

The required certificates are as follows:

L, an invitation letter from a relative.

2. Notary certificate of the relationship between myself and my relatives (handle it at the notary office with the household registration book or the certificate of relevant units).

3. Personal identity notarization (you must also go to the notary office with relevant certificates. If you have retired, you must apply for a retirement certificate and specify the amount of pension).

4. Get a personal passport (go to the local entry-exit administration office with your ID card and residence booklet).

If the relative is over 70 years old, he must buy it abroad.

6. Book a round-trip air ticket for people who are visiting relatives (only take advance orders, no need to pay).

7. To apply for a visa in embassies and consulates in China, the visiting country, you can also send the relevant information to the people who are visiting relatives, and then send it to you after the relevant agencies (such as the Immigration Bureau) in that country have completed the visa.
