Do I need to press my handprint to apply for a visa to go abroad?

You don't have to press your fingerprints to apply for a visa to go abroad. But some countries, such as Britain and America, need it.

After Britain and the United States, from May 19, China tourists also need to collect fingerprints when applying for Schengen national visas. Visitors who successfully apply for a Schengen visa for the first time do not need to re-collect fingerprints within 5 years. After the new regulations come into effect, it will take at least 45 days to two months to apply for a Schengen visa.

Brief introduction of visa: a visa is the annotation and seal on the passport or other travel documents held by the sovereign organ of a country to show that it is allowed to enter or leave the country or go through the formalities in the country. It can also be said that it is an endorsement certificate issued to them. Generally speaking, a visa is a document issued by a country's entry-exit administration (such as immigration bureau or its embassy or consulate abroad) to approve the entry of foreign citizens.
