How to apply for a visa to go abroad?

Most citizens from developing countries will encounter obstacles when applying for visas, and China is no exception. When going abroad on business, the foreign affairs department of the government will apply for a visa through the consular department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Nearly 30 countries have signed visa-free agreements with China (only business passports or diplomatic and official passports).

There is no visa-free discount for going abroad for private reasons. At present, China citizens with personal passports must apply for visas to enter any country. Even the internationally accepted visa-free transit does not apply to China's personal passports in the United States, Canada, Australia, Britain and other countries, and a transit visa must be applied separately.

2. Visa format

Countries that have diplomatic relations with China can apply for visas at the visa office of the consulate in China by stamping their passports and then signing them by the consul. If you want to go to a country without diplomatic relations, you must fill in the entry permit of that country, and then it will be signed and sealed by the consul of that country, not a visa.

3. Visa type

Immigrant and non-immigrant visas-according to the purpose of humanistic environment, visas can be divided into the above two categories.

Obtaining an immigrant visa means obtaining permanent residency in the country, and can become a citizen of the country after living for a certain period of time; Non-immigrant visas include business, study abroad, labor, training, tourism and medical care.

4. Visa or visa.

It means that the inviter prepares the visa approval certificate for the visitors in the country's exit administration departments (such as the People's Republic of China (PRC) Administration of the Japanese Ministry of Justice, the Korean Ministry of Justice, the Indonesian Immigration Bureau, etc.), and then submits it to embassies and consulates in China together with the passport and other materials. The embassy or consulate can issue visas with the above approval letter without consulting the relevant domestic departments.

Getting the anti-visa means that this person's situation has been recognized, and it won't be long after the passport is handed over to the embassy. At present, most countries that implement anti-visa are in Asia; Such as Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and so on. It means to apply for a visa at the border port of the destination country. This is second only to visa-free preferential treatment. Sometimes it is necessary for the inviter to apply in advance in his own country and send the approval certificate or a copy of the certificate to the visitors.

Leave the country with a reverse visa and apply for a visa when you arrive at the Japanese shore of the country you are going to. For example, people from more than 70 countries or regions, such as India, Chile and Cameroon, who stay in 15 days, can obtain visas at Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Taiyi and Buji International Airport and must submit photos.

5. Separate visa

It refers to visas issued by various countries, most of which are in the form of signatures or labels on the inside pages of passports, but sometimes they are issued on separate pages without making any changes to passports. Most of these cases are because when the two countries have no diplomatic relations, they say that they will not recognize each other's passports for the time being, or dissidents will avoid persecution in their own countries after visiting hostile countries, and leave immediately after checking their passports during group tours to reduce procedures, or time is too tight to get visas one by one.

Visa is a measure taken by a sovereign country to safeguard its sovereignty, dignity, security and interests. Visa is an important means for a sovereign country to implement entry and exit management.

Citizens of a country who want to travel, settle down, do business and study in other countries must have valid passports or travel documents, and another condition is to obtain visas to other countries.

Under normal circumstances, a country issues visas to foreigners on the principle of equality and reciprocity between foreign countries and their nationals, and provides the same preferential treatment and convenience for the nationals of the two countries to interact with each other. However, there are also visa-free countries, such as 18 visa-free countries with China passports and 130 visa-free countries with American passports.

Generally speaking, foreigners are granted different entry visas according to the identity of the applicant and the purpose of entry, such as visas for traveling, visiting relatives, emigrating, studying abroad and working, and the residence time after entry is limited. Due to the different types of visas, the relevant materials needed are also different. Generally, short-term residence applications have fewer restrictions and shorter waiting time for approval.

For the purpose of long-term residence, the application is more restricted and the waiting time is longer. A country has no obligation to allow foreigners to enter the country unconditionally (unless there is a treaty), and a foreigner has no right to ask a government to allow him to enter the country. A sovereign country always has restrictions on the entry of foreigners.

With the development of international trade, international political relations and the prosperity of tourism, visa regulations in many countries tend to be simplified. There are also agreements between countries to exempt visas or simplify visa procedures.
