What documents do hotels need to apply for to receive foreigners?

You can apply for accommodation if you can enter the country.

With the same question, the reporter found Zhu Yongping, director of Guangdong Datong Law Firm. Zhu Yongping told reporters that foreign passports need to produce entry and exit certificates approved by the China government. Hong Kong and Macao compatriots must apply for a Home Visit Permit when they come to the Mainland, which is a valid certificate in the Mainland. Only Hong Kong and Macao residents' ID cards can not enter the mainland, nor can they stay in hotels. When asked whether hotels at all levels receive tourists from Hong Kong, Macao and foreign countries, Zhu Yongping explained that they used to be called "foreign hotels". Nowadays, foreigners can stay in hotels without staying in foreign-related hotels as long as they produce valid certificates approved by Chinese mainland.

In addition, according to relevant information, if you lose your Home Visit Permit in the Mainland, you need to report it to the lost police station immediately, and then go through the reporting procedures at the Exit-Entry Service Hall of the Public Security Bureau; If foreign tourists lose their passports in China, it will be more complicated and the processing time will be longer. The reporter reminded the general public that whether traveling abroad or at home, they should bring all relevant identity documents and keep them properly to avoid unnecessary troubles.

Personal passports cannot be checked.

Not long ago, Ms. Qu, who was on a business trip from Jinan, Shandong Province to Guangzhou, was rejected when she went to an apartment hotel in Tianhe District with her personal passport. What is a valid identification has aroused Ms. Qu's doubts. Recently, some citizens turned to reporters for help on related issues, saying that their friends were also rejected when they registered in hotels in other places with home visit permits (that is, Hong Kong and Macao residents' passes to and from the Mainland), and they were told that they could only stay in foreign-related hotels, which was very confusing.
