During the epidemic, foreigners' visas expired. What if I don't want to go back to China?

Liu Haitao, director of the frontier inspection and management department of the National Immigration Bureau, introduced at the press conference held by the joint prevention and control mechanism in the State Council on March 1 that special flexible policies have been introduced. During the period of epidemic prevention and control, foreigners can automatically extend their stay in China for two months after the expiration.

During the extension period, you can still legally stop staying in China or leave the country normally without going through the extension formalities. 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 certification services.

Foreigners who come to China to participate in epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic exchanges and cooperation or engage in important business and scientific research activities may apply for a port visa at the port of entry if they are too late to complete the visa in advance due to urgent matters.
