Do the country of passport application and the country of destination need to be the same?

Each country’s embassies, consulates and immigration law enforcement agencies will fully consider the itinerary of foreign visitors. In reality, it is true that travelers apply for visas for other countries after arriving in one country, resulting in the country of issuing the visa being inconsistent with the country of the traveler's nationality. For such a situation, unless there are special circumstances, the immigration law enforcement agencies of various countries will not pay special attention and handle the procedures in accordance with normal entry inspection standards. In addition, China's border inspection no longer checks visas for Chinese citizens going abroad, and citizens are responsible for whether they can enter the destination country
