What is the meaning of e-visa+how to use it+application method

For many friends who travel abroad, it is very troublesome to apply for a visa. However, in order to welcome China people to travel in their country, many countries are also trying to provide people with convenient ways. E-visa is very popular recently.

So, what exactly does this e-visa mean and how should we use it? Next, let Bian Xiao sort out the answers to these questions for everyone!

How to use e-visa?

Q: Do I have to print out my e-visa and take it with me?

A: According to the current regulations on the use of electronic visas in various countries, the electronic visa is sent to the mailbox designated by the applicant by mail, so after receiving this electronic visa, it must be printed out and kept as one of the entry and exit documents.

Although at the time of entry, generally, as long as the applicant's passport is swiped on the computer of the local entry-exit customs, the relevant information of the applicant, including the visa status, will be displayed. Therefore, the customs will not necessarily ask to print the electronic visa when entering or leaving the country, so it is better to print it out, so be prepared.

In addition, some places have now adopted self-service customs clearance, and there is no need to show a printed electronic visa when going through customs.

For example, Australia also adopts e-visa, which also requires the applicant to print it out and carry it with him.

But now China citizens can self-service customs clearance in Australia, that is, they refresh their passports on the machine, and a self-service customs clearance card will be issued after the information is automatically checked in the background, and then they will take this card and put it into the face recognition machine, so that they can easily clear the customs after recognizing the biological information.

Q: E-visa is more convenient than stickers, so are there any other restrictions on the use of E-visa?

A: The electronic tag is an upgraded version of the tag, which aims to facilitate use and improve efficiency. However, holding an electronic visa in your hand does not mean that there are no restrictions. Some countries or regions will restrict the use of e-visa.

For example, last year, the website of the Embassy of China in Kyrgyzstan issued the "Relevant Reminders on Going to Kyrgyzstan with Electronic Visa", saying that the reasons why China citizens were blocked from entering and leaving Kyrgyzstan with electronic visas occurred one after another, because the holders did not comply with the specific regulations on the use of electronic visas.

Take Kyrgyzstan as an example. There are special restrictions on the entry and exit ports holding electronic visas in Kyrgyzstan, which are limited to Manas International Airport in Bishkek, Osh International Airport and Ak-JOL port on the border between Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. After entering the country, the visa type, validity period and stay period cannot be changed.

Therefore, when you apply for an e-visa, you should read the relevant instructions carefully, see clearly the validity period and stay period after the visa is signed out, and plan the route reasonably so as not to affect the itinerary.

What does e-visa mean?

The so-called "e-visa", also known as e-visa, is to "electronize" the traditional paper visa, that is, to store all the information on the passport holder's visa in the form of "electronization" in the system of the visa issuing authority.

After the electronic visa is successfully processed, you can print the electronic visa and use it with your passport.

Apply for an electronic visa

There are usually two ways: First, you only need to fill in the simple information in the visa application official website, upload the corresponding materials, and pay the visa fee directly. After the approval, you can receive the e-visa at the designated mailbox;

The other is that applicants need to submit relevant paper materials to the embassies and consulates of the corresponding countries. After the application is approved, the embassy or consulate will issue an electronic visa by mail.

Either way, the final presentation is an e-visa sent to the mailbox. Before departure, print this e-visa and use it with your ticket and passport.

New countries that have joined the e-visa.

New Zealand visas will no longer be posted on July 4.

From July 4th this year, the New Zealand Immigration Bureau will no longer issue visa labels, and all applicants' visas will be issued by e-mail, that is, "e-visa", which means that the sticker version of the New Zealand visa has become history.

At present, to apply for a New Zealand visa, you can submit the application online, or you can provide a paper version of the materials to apply at the New Zealand Visa Center. However, after the visa is issued, the visa will no longer be posted, and the visa will be issued in the form of an electronic visa.

According to New Zealand, after adopting this method, the speed of applying for a visa in New Zealand will be further improved, because the materials submitted for applying for a visa through the Internet are all electronic documents as application materials.

In this way, the New Zealand Immigration Bureau does not need to spend extra time scanning and archiving the original materials submitted by the applicant, which can greatly save time.

New Zealand has always been one of the favorite tourist destinations for China tourists. From May 8th, 20 17, China tourists visiting New Zealand for tourism, visiting relatives and business activities can apply for multiple-entry visas for up to five years.

Family tourists who apply for a five-year visa to New Zealand online can apply as a family, and families can apply for a family of four at most (spouse+two children under the age of 20).

Moreover, if family members submit their applications together, they can get a five-year multiple-entry electronic visa for a family by paying only one visa fee, which is quite cost-effective.

1 July, Uzbekistan implemented electronic signature.

Since July this year 1, Uzbekistan has started to implement the electronic visa system. According to the regulations, applicants can submit their applications on the Uzbek visa website in http://evisa.mfa.uz/evisa_en/,, which is a new English website.

After logging in to the website, you only need to enter your personal information step by step according to the guidelines, and finally pay the Visa fee with a credit card marked Visa or Master. This application website can also check the status of e-visa, which can generally be issued within 5-7 working days.

Prior to this, Uzbekistan was committed to simplifying visa and entry procedures, hoping to attract more people to Ukraine, including canceling individual tourist visas valid for 7 days and 15 days, and uniformly issuing individual tourist visas valid for 30 days to foreign citizens;

The visa fee was reduced from $60 to $40; The application conditions for group tourist visas have been reduced from 10 to 5.

At present, the visa regulations of Uzbekistan stipulate that the visa fee for a group tour valid for 15 days is 15 USD/person, and that for a group tour valid for 30 days is 25 USD/person.

In addition, since June 5438+ 10/this year, Uzbekistan has simplified the entry and exit regulations for individuals to carry foreign currency, stipulating that individuals do not need to make a written declaration when they bring foreign currency cash equivalent to less than 2,000 US dollars (including 2,000 US dollars) into and out of Uzbekistan.

At the same time, Uzbekistan has no restrictions on individuals bringing foreign currency cash into the country.

E-visa is relatively convenient, but we still need to pay attention to it. When you apply for an e-visa, you should read the required materials and certificates clearly and pay attention to travel safety. Bian Xiao finally wishes you a pleasant journey!
