How to make up for the expired visa?

After applying for a visa, you should go to the country within the validity period of the visa. Otherwise, after the validity period of the visa expires, the visa will be invalid and can no longer be used. It will cost you another sum of money to handle it, which is not worth the candle. 1. What should I do if my visa expires? If my visa expires, I need to apply for a new visa at the Exit-Entry Administration. Visa is the annotation and seal of the sovereign organ of a country on the passport or other travel documents held by its own or foreign citizens to show that they are allowed to enter or leave the country or pass through it. It can also be said that it is an endorsement certificate issued to them. Generally speaking, a visa is a document issued by a country's entry-exit administration (such as immigration bureau or its embassy or consulate abroad) to approve the entry of foreign citizens. To apply for a foreign visa, whether China people apply for a foreign visa or foreigners apply for a visa from other countries, no matter which way they apply, whether they entrust or apply directly by themselves, they generally need to go through the following procedures: (1) Submit a valid passport. (2) Submit various documents related to the application, such as my birth certificate, marital status certificate, education certificate, work experience certificate, etc. (3) Fill in and submit the visa application form. Different visas have different forms. Most of them should be filled out in foreign languages and photos should be provided at the same time. (4) Meeting with officials of the Embassy and Consulate of China in that country. Some countries stipulate that all immigrant applicants must be interviewed before making a decision; Some countries also require interviews to apply for non-immigrant visas. (5) The embassy or consulate shall submit the completed visa application form and necessary supporting materials to the domestic competent authorities for examination and approval. The embassies and consulates of a few countries have the right to issue visas directly, but they still have to report to China for the record. (6) After going to the competent department of the country for necessary examination and approval, notify the embassy or consulate in the country of the examination and approval opinions. If you agree, a visa will be issued. If you refuse, you will also inform the applicant. (For visa refusal, the embassy or consulate will not refund the visa fee. (7) Pay the visa fee. Generally speaking, when submitting a visa application, you must pay the fee first. In some countries, the fee is charged only after the visa application is successful. Generally speaking, immigrant visa fees are slightly higher and non-immigrant visa fees are slightly lower. There are also some countries and regions that are visa-free. Two. Usage of visa 1 The validity period of a valid visa refers to the period from the date of issuance of the visa to the date when the holder is allowed to enter the country. After this period, the visa will be invalid. Generally, countries issue entry visas valid for 3 months, while some countries issue entry visas valid for 1 month. Some countries have strict restrictions on the validity of visas, such as Germany, which only issues visas according to the date of application. The validity of transit visas is generally short. 2. The duration of visa refers to the time allowed for the holder to stay after entering the country. The difference between it and the visa validity period is that the visa validity period refers to the use period of the visa, that is, the holder can enter and leave the country within the specified time. If a country's entry-exit visa is valid for 3 months and the stay period is l5 days, the visa can enter or leave the country on any day within 3 months from the date of issuance, but the holder can only stay in the country from the date of entry to the date of exit 15 days. Some countries must enter the country within 3 months after issuance, and the stay period after entry is 1 month; In some countries, the visa entry period and stay period are the same. For example, the validity period and stay period of the American visitor visa is three months, that is, the entrant is valid for three months and can only stay for three months after entering the country. The validity period of the visa is generally 1 month or 3 months; The longest is generally half a year or more than 1 year, such as employment and study visa; The shortest is 3 days or 7 days, such as a transit visa. Three. Requirements for visa insurance Visa insurance can also be called travel medical insurance. As a basic prerequisite for issuing Schengen visas, all applicants must apply for travel medical insurance. According to the Schengen agreement, medical insurance must be provided when applying for a visa. All applicants must buy and show medical insurance before entering Schengen countries, otherwise they will be prohibited from entering the country. Embassies of various countries do not mandate the designation of insurance companies, but only have certain requirements on the types of insurance and their protection. Outsiders try to buy visa insurance from some well-known insurance companies, which makes it easier to get visas to Schengen countries. Travel medical insurance in visa insurance must meet the following requirements: 1. Travel medical insurance must cover the cost of possible repatriation due to illness and the cost of first aid and emergency hospitalization. Including losses of at least 30,000 euros or 300,000 RMB. 2. Travel medical insurance must be valid throughout the Schengen area and during the trip. In other words, when buying insurance, both the travel date and the return date should be covered. 3. In some cases, if you are obviously susceptible to illness, you must make a higher claim according to the required insurance amount. 4. In the case that the purpose of the trip is to see a doctor for treatment, it is necessary to separately prove who will bear the expenses. 5. The European Schengen visa must be valid throughout the Schengen area and during the tourists' stay. According to the law, if your visa expires, you need to apply for a new visa at the Exit-Entry Administration. Generally speaking, you should arrive and leave the destination country within the validity period and stay period of your visa.
