operation sequence/order

To apply for a foreign visa, whether China people apply for a foreign visa or foreigners apply for visas from other countries, no matter which way they apply, whether they entrust or directly handle it themselves, they generally need to go through the following procedures:

(1) Submit a valid passport.

(2) Submit various documents related to the application, such as my birth certificate, marital status certificate, education certificate, work experience certificate, 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 photos should be provided at the same time.

(4) Meeting with officials of the Embassy and Consulate of China in that country. Some countries stipulate that all immigrant applicants must be interviewed before making a decision; Some countries also require interviews to apply for non-immigrant visas.

(5) The embassy or consulate shall submit the completed visa application form and necessary supporting materials to the domestic competent authorities 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 to China for the record.

(6) After going to the competent department of the country for necessary examination and approval, 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 visa fees. Generally speaking, when submitting a visa application, you must pay the fee first. In some countries, the fee is charged only after 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 that are visa-free.

Visa is a kind of license issued by a government agency of a country according to its own laws to foreigners who apply for entry, exit or transit.

According to the principles of international law, any sovereign country has the right to decide whether to allow foreigners to enter or leave the country, and to issue visas, refuse to issue visas or announce the cancellation of visas already issued according to its own laws.

The visa is usually attached to the passport or other international travel documents held by the applicant. Under special circumstances, valid passports or other international travel documents can be written on a separate sheet. With the progress of science and technology, some countries began to issue electronic visas and biological visas, which greatly enhanced the anti-counterfeiting function of visas.

Visa plays an important role in checking and controlling entry-exit personnel, protecting national security and preventing illegal immigrants and criminals.

Passport is the holder's nationality and identity certificate, and visa is the permission certificate of a sovereign country to allow foreign citizens or their own citizens to enter, exit or transit.

Visas are generally endorsed on passports, some are endorsed on other travel documents instead of passports, and some are issued separately. For example, immigration visas in the United States and Canada are A4 paper, and Singapore also issues separate paper visas to foreigners. Generally speaking, a visa must be used at the same time as a passport to be valid.

China

Most countries that have diplomatic relations with China have established embassies or consulates in China. The Embassy is located in Beijing, the capital, and the Consulate General is located in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenyang, Chengdu and other economically developed and populous cities. Some countries or regions that have not yet established embassies or consulates either have consulates in Hong Kong or entrust other offices to handle visa affairs.

There are three ways for China citizens to apply for foreign visas:

(1) I apply directly to foreign embassies and consulates in China;

(2) Entrust the visa office of China Travel Agency (generally limited to tourist visas);

(3) Foreign relatives and friends directly apply for a visa to the country's immigration bureau.

The adoption of the above three methods depends on the situation. If I am familiar with the situation and the embassy accepts individual applications, I can apply for a visa directly to embassies and consulates in China. Some countries don't have embassies in China, so foreign relatives and friends should apply for entry permits there. After approval, relatives will send it to the applicant, and the applicant can start his journey abroad with his passport and returned visa.

Foreign consulates in China are responsible for applying for visas to their countries for people in their territories. Therefore, visa applicants should know in advance about going to China's embassies, consulates and jurisdictions.

other countries

There are generally three ways for citizens of other countries to apply for foreign visas, but the specific provisions vary from country to country, depending on the specific situation:

(1) I apply directly to foreign embassies and consulates in the country;

(2) Entrust the visa office of the country's travel agency to apply for it (generally limited to tourist visas);

(3) relatives and friends of the applicant country directly apply for a visa to the immigration bureau of the applicant country.
