Passports are a disgrace. What about the information before the new passport?

Malaysia Airlines' lost flight confirmed that two passengers boarded the plane with other people's passports. One of them, an Italian, had his passport stolen in Thailand on August 1 2065438, and the passport of another Austrian passenger was stolen in Thailand two years ago. Passports are often lost abroad. How to prevent the passport from being lost? What if I lose my passport? In order to prevent more serious situations, it is very important to master the following emergency methods for the loss of overseas travel documents.

Step 1: Report the loss to the local police station at the first time.

Reminder: you can usually get a police officer's card on the same day.

If you find that your passport is missing, first of all, you must calm down and think about your own course of action. Did you leave it in the car, restaurant or hotel? If someone steals it, many thieves from other places will only take the money, but the cards and certificates that are useless to them will stay nearby. If you find them in time, maybe you will get something by going back to the original road and looking for them carefully. Don't let go of the trash can, but also inform the police and staff at the scene. If you are lucky, you may be able to dig out your passport from it.

If it is determined that your passport is lost, you should report it to the local police station or police station as soon as possible.

In many tourist destination countries, this is a very important item in the daily process of the police station or immigration bureau, and usually the police station certificate can be obtained on the same day.

Tip: It is very important to report the loss to the police station. The lost passport certificate issued by the local police is one of the necessary materials to apply for a travel permit. When calling the police, you can report the case directly to the police station or call the local police number.

Step 2: Apply for a travel permit or reissue a passport.

Reminder: A four-day travel permit is not the same as a passport.

After losing their passports, tourists can reissue their passports or travel permits at China's embassy or consulate in the host country before returning home. To handle the relevant documents, travelers need to show proof of lost passport, copy of passport and other documents issued by local police.

According to the latest regulations, the issuance time of ordinary passports is uniformly set at 15 working days from the date of accepting applications. Of course, it is impossible for people who travel abroad to stay for such a long time. It is recommended to apply for a tourist permit. Under normal circumstances, it takes four working days for the embassy to apply for a travel permit, and only two working days for expedited travel.

A travel permit is a blueprint the size of a passport, except for personal information, which is a blank visa page. In principle, blank travel cards can only be used for returning to China, and cross-border travel is not allowed. At the same time, it should be noted that the blank travel permit must be used together with the copy of the passport and the certificate of loss of the passport issued by the local police. Only show a blank travel permit, which has no special instructions. The inspectors will still think that you have a blank passport, and if there is no police certificate, they will still think that you have entered the country illegally with a blank passport. Therefore, the passport loss certificate issued by the police cannot be lost.

Since there is no valid endorsement of the destination country on the travel certificate, travelers need to contact the local agency of their airline in order to return and keep the return ticket immediately. If you can't prove legal entry, you may be suspected of illegal entry. Some countries can't go through the customs when they get a travel permit, so they have to go to the immigration bureau to reissue their entry visas. When holding a blank travel permit, it is recommended not to run around. The safest way is to return to China directly from the country that issued the travel permit. However, there is one problem that deserves special attention. Because there is a layer of customs between Hong Kong and the mainland, tourists with temporary documents cannot enter Hong Kong. It is best for passengers to fly back to China directly from the reporting country.

Tip: You'd better make a backup of relevant identification before going abroad, and take a copy with you. The best way is to take a copy of your ID card, a photo of your passport's first page and visa page, a photo of your household registration book and a photo of your air ticket with you during your trip, and prepare one in the mail.

Step 3: Return to China to reissue your passport.

Reminder: You need to make a separate appointment to subsidize the valid visa of the original passport.

After returning home, tourists can go back to the entry-exit permit center where their household registration is located, provide the local alarm paper and relevant certificates provided by the travel agency when their documents are lost, or publish a notice of loss in a designated newspaper according to the regulations of relevant departments, and choose one of the three materials. Among them, alarm paper is undoubtedly the simplest method.

In addition, for many tourists, the lost passports may still have visas valid in some countries. In this case, according to the regulations of the American Embassy and the Canadian Embassy, the lost visa can only be subsidized after making an appointment for an interview at the embassy again. Other countries can choose to go to the embassy or consulate in Guangzhou to affix a valid visa to the new passport.

Tip: To apply for a new passport at the domicile, you need to bring the following materials: travel permit and its copy (photo page, entry stamp page), household registration book and its copy, ID card and its copy, original and its copy of foreign alarm record, and a 2-inch photo.
