(About the importance of work &; Economic proof: many travel agencies on Taobao I consulted before either get work proof or economic proof; However, when going to the embassy to apply for a visa, the work certificate and economic certificate are necessary for visa applicants who apply separately! A girl in her twenties in front of me was told to bring her work certificate to apply for a visa next time, because she only brought her economic certificate. However, they are not so strict about family outings. I did it with my parents, and I have proof of my mother's bank deposit. The staff specifically confirmed whether we were together, and then the materials were reviewed loosely. I said I was looking for a job and I didn't have a work certificate. The staff didn't say anything, even my mother's retirement certificate. Therefore, the staff are still very cautious about any measures that tend to immigrate. )
