Foreigners' residence in China will be automatically extended for two months.

At present, the epidemic in COVID-19 has not only been dealt with in China, but also spread abroad. In order to ensure everyone's safety, border management measures in many countries have become stricter. For foreigners who cannot leave the country due to control during the epidemic period, China can automatically extend their stay for two months after the expiration of their stay period.

The duration of foreigners' stay in China will be automatically postponed.

On June 1, Liu Haitao, director of the frontier inspection and management department of the National Immigration Administration, said that foreigners in China could automatically extend their stay for two months if their visas were about to expire. During the extension period, you can legally stay in China or leave the country normally without going through the extension formalities.

Special case handling

At the same time, for Chinese and foreign personnel involved in medical assistance, drug research and development, academic exchanges and other epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic work, local public security exit-entry management departments provide 24-hour expedited accreditation services; Foreigners who come to China to participate in exchanges and cooperation in epidemic prevention and control or engage in important trade and scientific research activities may apply for a port visa at the port of entry if they are too late to apply for a visa in advance due to urgent matters.

Bidding method

Liu Haitao said that because the epidemic is in the prevention and control period, the National Immigration Bureau has also introduced "Internet government affairs" service measures to effectively reduce the flow and gathering of people and reduce the risk of cross-infection and infection. Foreigners in China, like China citizens, can enjoy online application and submission, as well as the real-time inquiry service of the National Immigration Bureau on the adjustment of entry and exit policies in official website and abroad.

Foreign epidemic prevention and control measures

As of February 29, global data show that the epidemic has spread to 53 countries around the world, covering all continents except Antarctica. The newly confirmed cases outside China have surpassed China for four consecutive days. The risk of epidemic situation cannot be underestimated, and preparations must be made.

The grim situation abroad has brought new challenges to the prevention and control of epidemic situation in China. At present, the epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19, China is in the most powerful critical period. "Import from the outside and prevent proliferation from the inside" is the basic principle of epidemic prevention and control in Beijing and other places, and it is also one of the important experiences of phased epidemic prevention and control. To do a good job in preventing the reverse import of overseas epidemic, all parties concerned must continue to tighten the string of "external defense import" and strictly control the import, and must not let the "reverse" epidemic become a "dam-breaking hole" in the previous prevention and control work.
