Article 9 of the "Measures for the Administration of Chinese Citizens' Overseas Travel" stipulates that tourists holding a valid ordinary passport can go directly to the tour group agency to handle the procedures for overseas travel.

Those who do not have a valid ordinary passport should apply for a passport in accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Exit and Entry Administration Law of the People's Republic of China" before going through the procedures for overseas travel.
