How to apply for a visa to go abroad

A visa refers to an endorsement and stamp by the competent authority of a country on the passport held by its own or foreign citizens, indicating that they are allowed to enter and exit the country. Chinese citizens holding valid passports, whether traveling abroad for business or private reasons, must obtain a visa for the country they are going to in advance, except for countries that have signed mutual visa exemption agreements with my country. The visa is usually printed on the passport and is used at the same time as the passport. Countries that have not established diplomatic relations usually put their visa on a separate paper, called a separate visa, which is used together with the passport
