3.3 1 person is in China and enrolled in the course S 1. What should I do?

Affected by the epidemic, China's visa to Beijing is still closed. Although the Immigration Bureau is transferring New Zealand visas that have been assigned to the Beijing Visa Center to other regional visa centers for processing, the processing speed will still be slow due to the accumulation of visas, and the official of the New Zealand Immigration Bureau said that visa applicants need to submit their visa applications at least eight weeks in advance. If your visa is not processed in time, you can consider the following methods to make corresponding countermeasures.

Enter a third country-the visa is still valid. You can consider entering New Zealand after transit in a third country 14 days and before March 3 1. When entering a third country, please check the entry and exit time, such as whether to transit in the third country 14 days, legal residence time in the third country, etc.

Thailand's low consumption provides Chinese mainland citizens with a 15-day visa on arrival, which has become the first choice for many students to transfer to Thailand. The materials and precautions to be prepared when transferring to Thailand are as follows.

Q: What materials do I need to apply for landing visa in Thailand?

Passport valid for not less than 6 months

Two-inch bareheaded photo on white background

Carry 10000 (personal) Thai baht in cash or equivalent foreign currency with you (Thailand Immigration Bureau will conduct random inspection).

Round-trip air tickets not exceeding 15 days (printed version of e-ticket)

Note: You can apply for an extension at the Immigration Bureau, but you must go in advance, and the queue will be very long in the near future.

Mavericks interviewed a friend who had just saved the country and passed through Thailand today. The dialogue is as follows.

Q: How many days did you stay in Thailand?

A: He entered Thailand on February 19 and left Thailand on the morning of March 5. Successfully entered New Zealand today (March 6th). According to the present situation, I won't be able to leave until 16.

Q: Did you fly directly from Thailand to New Zealand?

A: Actually, it's good for Cathay Pacific to transfer to Hong Kong. That's what I did. I checked my passport/visa/flight to Thailand. Although it took 20 minutes to process the ink, the finishing was very smooth.

Q: What will New Zealand Customs do when entering the country? How do you ask?

A: Generally speaking, entering New Zealand is relatively smooth. People who have been to China and Iran in the past 14 days have to fill in the form separately, and then all people except those with Australian/American/New Zealand passports have to go manually and ask some standard questions questions, so don't worry about the untrue answers. If you don't take your temperature, remember to print a New Zealand visa in advance and take it with you.

Q: I heard from other friends that Thai Airways is a bit stuck. Is that so?

A: Thailand will have strict security checks at the airport. If you feel that you do not meet the requirements for entering New Zealand, you may not be allowed to board the plane.

But don't worry, if there are any problems, the airline will also send an email and call the New Zealand Immigration Bureau for confirmation. After the approval of the New Zealand Immigration Bureau, you can leave Thailand smoothly and fly to New Zealand.

So you must come to the airport earlier, and then you must print out your New Zealand visa.

Q: Have you checked in?

A: I have a friend who checked it. He went to Thailand a few days before me, so we were not on the same flight. He is Thai Airways.

Thai Airways, students can check two pieces of luggage with a total weight of no more than 40, and ordinary air tickets can also check two pieces of luggage with a total weight of no more than 30.

Q: Do I need to keep my boarding pass?

A: It needs to be kept and the airline needs to show it. But if you accidentally throw it away, you can also show the baggage tag to the airline, but I suggest you take good care of your boarding pass.

On March 3 1, the person was in a third country and entered New Zealand without a visa.

If you are in a third country and find that your New Zealand visa has expired, you can submit your New Zealand visa in the third country or return home to submit your New Zealand visa.

After the third country submits a new visa, if the third country visa expires, you can go back to China and wait for a new visa.

New Zealand friends don't have to worry. After submitting your visa in New Zealand, you will receive a transitional visa from the Immigration Bureau. Just wait patiently for the new visa.

Most universities in New Zealand start school in February/July, so it is too early to apply for a July visa in March. If you can't catch up with the first semester in time for personal reasons, you can first consider applying for a tourist visa for the transition.

Immigration New Zealand is trying to minimize the impact of the coronavirus pneumonia-19 epidemic and the temporary closure of its Beijing office on visa processing time:

For student and tourist visa applications that are usually handled by its Beijing office, if the applicants are not subject to temporary travel restrictions, they will be transferred to other offices as soon as possible.

Immigration New Zealand expects that the processing time for student and tourist visa applications will remain within the normal time limit. For those applications that have not submitted all the required materials or need further verification, the processing time will be longer. Applicants should ensure that they have provided all necessary documents when applying and submit their applications at least 8 weeks before the planned travel or visa renewal date.

Due to the redistribution of work to other offices, Immigration New Zealand expects that the processing time of basic skills temporary work visas will increase, and it is recommended to submit such applications three months before the required visa date.

The website of the Ministry of Health of New Zealand continuously provides the latest health advice on coronavirus pneumonia-19.

The Chinese version can be found at: https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/diseases-and-conditions/coronavirus pneumonia-19-novel-corona virus. New Zealand has set up a domestic health hotline about coronavirus pneumonia-19: 08003585453 (please dial +649358 for international calls.
