procedures for handling overseas visas What are the procedures for handling overseas visas? 1. Submit a valid passport. 2. Submit all kinds of documents related to the application, such as proof of one's birth, marital status, education, work experience, etc. 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 their photos should be provided at the same time. 4. Go to the Chinese embassy or consulate to meet with officials. Some countries stipulate that all immigrant applicants must be interviewed before making a decision; Some countries also stipulate that an interview is also required to apply for a non-immigrant visa. 5. The embassy or consulate shall submit the completed visa application forms and necessary supporting materials to the competent domestic departments 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 them to China for the record. 6. After going to the competent department of the country to conduct the necessary audit, notify the embassy or consulate in the 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 have to pay the fee first, and some countries only charge the fee when 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 where visas are free.
