On the days and times of passport exemption

China passport has always been considered as&; The worst passport to use&; About & China passport has low gold content &, and. Visa-free countries are all poor countries and chaotic countries &; And so on. In fact, when a country formulates a visa-free policy, it must first ensure that it will not bring trouble to itself, and secondly pay attention to the principle of reciprocity. In the 1990s, the phenomenon of people smuggling and illegal immigration in China was very serious, so some countries tightened their visa policies to China, and countries that previously granted visa-free access to China also cancelled the visa-free preference for individual passports.

As of 20 13 and 10, although there are 8 1 visa-free countries in China, only three of them can be exempted from visas with personal ordinary personal passports.

According to the latest data of Henry visa restriction index 20 13, China's passport capacity is 44, ranking 82nd among 93 countries in the world, only higher than a few countries such as North Korea, Iran and Iraq. As for India, there are also 52. Among the big countries with a population of more than 6,543.8 billion, China has the lowest passport capacity and the least visa-free number. By the end of this year, China has signed visa exemption agreements with 8 1 countries, but these agreements are basically aimed at diplomacy, official business, group travel and general business. Only San Marino, Seychelles and Mauritius have realized visa-free access to all passports with China. Unfortunately, foreign tourists who want to enter San Marino often need to fly to Italy before entering the country. For private passport holders in China, this list of few applicable countries is of no practical significance.

Apart from government factors, China has many illegal immigrants and a poor image, which is also the reason why some countries are unwilling to grant visa-free access to China.

Apart from the principle of reciprocity and foreign policy factors, illegal residence, immigrants and poor image of China people abroad are the reasons why some countries are unwilling to grant visa-free access to China. Take Japan as an example, according to&; Statistics of crimes committed by foreigners in Japan since 20 10 show that among foreign criminals exposed in China in 20 10, Japanese accounted for 4,659, accounting for 39.3%, exceeding the sum of criminals from South Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam and Brazil. In 20 13, among the foreign criminals arrested in Japan, Japanese still accounted for the most, accounting for 38.3%, accounting for 1840. According to Japan's Sankei Shimbun 20 10, one is aimed at&; Relax visa conditions for China people &; Investigation,&; Oppose relaxing visa conditions &; Up to 89%, and&; Worried about the deterioration of public security &; Actually, it's over 94%.

1990, Hungary became the only visa-free country in Europe, and the number of Chinese increased to 50,000 within two years. Subsequently, the visa exemption was cancelled and the illegally stranded China people were deported.

Since the early 1990s, about 200,000 China people have come to Russian and Central and Eastern European countries. From around 1990, China and Hungary signed a visa-free agreement, and Hungary became the only country in Europe that granted visa-free access to China people at that time. At that time, Hungary was the main destination of new immigrants from Chinese mainland. It is understood that the number of new immigrants from China before the Hungarian visa exemption is generally stable at around 20,000. 1990 in the first two years after China and Hungary signed the visa-free agreement, the number of new immigrants entering China surged, reaching a peak of 50,000. However, starting from 1992, the Hungarian visa-free privilege was cancelled, and China people who stayed illegally were deported. According to the data of Immigration Bureau of Hungarian Ministry of Interior, about 500 people were deported from China for illegally staying in Hungary in 1998, and about 400 people were deported in 1999.

In May 1996, Singapore cancelled the 48-hour visa-free entry for China citizens because more and more China people overstayed.

In the 1990s, Singapore Immigration Bureau found that some travel agencies arranged for China tour groups to enter Singapore, regardless of whether the personnel left on time, which led to more and more China people overstaying. Therefore, the Singapore government announced on April 24th that China people will no longer be allowed to stay in Singapore for 48 hours as visa-free tourists. In addition, from now on, China tour groups must apply for tourist visas valid for 96 hours from the Singapore Embassy in Beijing, consulates in Shanghai and Xi or Singapore's diplomatic office in Hong Kong. Before issuing a visa, the travel agency concerned must pay a deposit of S $65,438+0,000 yuan (US$ 750) for each tourist.

In 2007, Colombia, the first country in South America to grant visa-free treatment to China, cancelled visa-free treatment to China four months later due to the sharp increase in the number of illegal immigrants to China.

Colombia is a Spanish-speaking country in the northwest of South America, with the largest population in Latin America, second only to Brazil and Mexico. It borders the Caribbean Sea to the north. Colombia is the first country in South America to grant visa-free treatment to China, and has opened visa-free access to China. Since then, this place, which was not visited by thousands of China people in 2006, has been visited by more than 100 China people every day since the visa was exempted. In April 2007, Colombian police arrested 65,438+0,065,438+0 illegal immigrants from China, most of whom did not have any identity cards. Subsequently, the Colombian government cancelled this policy in May of that year, and China's visa-free treatment for private passports was cancelled.

In 2008, Ecuador opened visa-free access to attract illegal immigrants from China. Nearly 7,000 China residents stayed illegally within six months, and the visa exemption was cancelled at the end of the year.

Some countries once granted visa-free access to China, but it ended in discord. On August, Ecuadorian President Correa issued a decree to cancel the entry visas of all countries, including China citizens. On that day, the number of China people who entered Ecuador exceeded about twice the total number of people who entered Ecuador every month. In the following six months, about 1. 1 10,000 China citizens entered the country, but less than 4,000 people left. Ecuadorian authorities suspect that some China people want to use Ecuador to smuggle into the United States or Canada. In June of that year, 5438+065438+ 10, the Ecuadorian coast guard arrested 47 Americans who attempted to sneak into central China. 65438+February 1, Ecuador changed its China policy and no longer granted visa-free treatment to individuals holding ordinary personal passports.

Tonga will cancel its visa-free access to China for only one year on 20 10 due to illegal immigrants from China.

The Kingdom of Tonga, located near the equator in the southwest Pacific Ocean, consists of 172 islands of different sizes. It is an island country in the South Pacific near New Zealand. King George of Tonga &; Tupou V visited China in 2009 and announced on the spot in China that China citizens would be granted 20 10 visa-free treatment. But because Tonga is close to New Zealand, the islands next to Tonga are basically affiliated islands of New Zealand. As long as you pass through Tonga, you can easily sneak into New Zealand by boat. Therefore, after landing visa was opened to Japanese citizens, hundreds of illegal residents appeared in Tonga in a short time. Finally, Tonga announced that it would cancel the visa on arrival for Japanese citizens from China, which also means that the visa-free visa for China passports will be revoked again.

In addition, Venezuela, Costa Rica and other countries have also granted China a visa-free personal passport, which was cancelled after the outbreak of illegal immigration.

In addition to these countries that notified the China government to cancel the visa exemption, other countries, including Venezuela and Costa Rica, canceled the visa exemption for private passports to China because of illegal immigrants. Some countries even quietly canceled landing visa and China without notifying the China government. They are Malawi, Papua New Guinea and Iraq, while East Timor needs prior approval to enter landing visa, while landing visa and Georgia have also become extremely difficult. However, due to the increase of illegal entry and detention of China citizens in recent years, Papua New Guinea regards China as a country with high risk of illegal immigration, and relevant law enforcement departments, such as immigration, police and security departments, have intensified their monitoring and investigation of China citizens. Once problems are found, such as holding a visa that is inconsistent with the new purpose of coming to Pakistan and not knowing the name of the employer, they will be detained, detained or even repatriated.
