Some cold passport knowledge that you must know when traveling abroad.

1. What is the function of the passport remarks page? Many travelers may have their passports on the remarks page. According to the regulations, the remarks page is used to add relevant information to the issuing authority (or embassy or consulate) and the inspection authority. For example, the passport needs to be renewed when it expires, and it needs to be reissued if it is lost, or the name of the holder changes, entry and exit agencies, embassies and consulates, etc. Related comments will be added to the passport comments page. Note: In principle, visas cannot be posted on the remarks page. However, there are opportunities for unexpected situations. For example, wayward border inspectors occasionally stamp entry and exit stamps on the remarks page. However, because some embassies and consulates in popular tourist destinations have to deal with hundreds of passport stickers every day, the order of visa pages and remarks pages in passports of different countries is different, and visa officers may paste visas on remarks pages in a hurry. Don't panic if you encounter the above two situations. In fact, both visas and passports can be used normally. 2. How to calculate the blank page of passport? Travelers may encounter such a requirement when applying for visas from other countries. Passports must have X (consecutive) blank pages. Generally speaking, for embassies and consulates, a blank page means that a visa page cannot have any traces of entry and exit seals, labels and staples; ; Two blank pages in a row means that the page numbers of the two blank visa pages in the passport that meet the above requirements must be continuous, and so on! Note: If you buy something in the mall, the cashier will nail the charge bill and tax refund form on the visa page, and then affix the saddle seal. After the bill is torn off, there is still half a seal on one visa page of your passport. This visa page may not be blank, but the border inspection can still stamp the entry and exit stamp on it. Passports are valid for less than 6 months. Is there anything wrong with leaving the country? Generally speaking, when leaving the country, the border inspection has no special requirements for the validity of passports. But what you need to know is that the passport is valid for minutes, which involves entry after arriving in the destination country-yes, even if you have a visa, it doesn't mean you can enter the country! Because each country has different requirements for the length of passport validity at the time of entry inspection (generally more than 6 months, but also more than 3 months), the validity period is counted from the departure date or arrival date. Therefore, travelers must first confirm the entry requirements of the destination and ensure that the validity period of their passports meets the entry requirements of the destination country, otherwise they are likely to be refused visas when checking in. Even if they can successfully check in at China and pass the border inspection, travelers may still be refused entry when they arrive at their destination. There are no blank pages in my passport. Can landing visa travel to visa-free countries? Generally speaking, if the destination country is on the list of landing visa, visa-free and electronic signature will be released, as well as certificate materials (such as printed electronic signature, etc. As long as there is enough space on the passport visa page for the destination country to stamp the entry and exit stamp, the domestic border inspection will choose to release it. However, due to the inconsistent standards of border clearance, it is best to call the exit port for border inspection confirmation before departure. If you leave the country from other countries (such as Hong Kong), the border inspection may check the blank pages of your passport before leaving the country. Even if the destination is a visa-free country, because the passport still needs to be stamped when entering or leaving the country, it is very likely that there is at least one blank page in the passport at the border inspection at the departure point, and travelers who do not meet the requirements may be refused to leave the country. 5. How many pages are there in a passport? What are their functions? An ordinary passport has 48 pages, including personal information page, remarks page and other passport function pages. There are 40 pages that can be printed with theme patterns, from page 8 to page 47, just like a blank notebook. Then parents can apply for visas everywhere. Passports have a good commemorative value. Passports in different countries are similar, with the national emblem and full name printed on the cover, as well as types.

Page 1: passport number, name, gender, date of birth, place of birth, marital status, etc. The holder's passport will be printed on the first page of passports in various countries, with the holder's photo attached; Page 2: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of People's Republic of China (PRC) requires the military and political organs of various countries to provide convenience and necessary assistance to the licensee; In addition, the passport also includes the date of issue, the place of issue and the seal of the issuing authority; Page 3: Name, gender, date of birth of accompanying children, with photos of children; Pages 4 and 5: Extended pages; Pages 6 and 7: Remarks page; Page 8~47: Visa page, each page is printed with a visa; Page 48: Precautions (1) Passport is an important identity document, which should be properly kept and used, and shall not be damaged, altered or transferred. (2) The issuance, extension, renewal and replacement of passports shall be handled by the public security departments (bureaus) of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, authorized public security organs, People's Republic of China (PRC) people's diplomatic representative offices, consular offices and China's overseas institutions or other overseas institutions authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. (3) Citizens who have settled in foreign countries shall go through the filing formalities with China's diplomatic representative offices and consular offices in foreign countries in time. (4) If you lose your passport, you should immediately report it to the local public security organ or the diplomatic representative office or consular office of our country in foreign countries. Reminder: Since passports in all countries are allowed to be extended after expiration, all passports have special extension and remarks pages. Accompanying children: Children under 16 need to share a passport with adults, so they are called accompanying children. If they have separate passports, they cannot be called accompanying children. 6. Planning a long trip, there are not enough blank pages in your passport. Can I apply for passport extension on the way? There is great uncertainty in renewing passports abroad. First of all, local embassies and consulates may be understaffed and take longer than normal procedures, which may delay the holder's trip. On the other hand, travelers should be aware that not all China embassies and consulates in every country are eligible to apply for passport renewal, and some embassies and consulates can only provide travel permit services so that travelers can renew their passports when they return home. Therefore, in the process of long-distance travel, when there are a lot of blank visa pages in your passport, you should make a good plan. When you arrive in a country where you can renew your passport, you should renew it immediately without delay. 7. How can a passport be deemed invalid and need to be reissued? 1) If the passport is damaged and affects its normal use (e.g. it has been painted, the page number is lost, it has been soaked in liquid, and the personal photo is blurred, which may be inconsistent with the person), the passport will be considered invalid and the holder needs to apply for a replacement passport. 2) The passport itself has expired. If you need to apply for a new passport, the original passport will be cancelled and returned to the applicant. 3) If the passport is stolen or lost, the original passport will automatically become invalid after the certificate of loss reporting is issued by the relevant authorities, and the holder applies for a travel permit from the local China embassy or consulate abroad or a replacement passport from the entry-exit authority (within China); 8. What should I do if I lose my outbound travel passport? Step 1: After searching carefully, report the loss of your passport. After confirming the loss of your passport, report it to the local police station immediately, and get the passport loss certificate, passport copy and other documents.
