Consequences of not returning to China on a tourist visa

The consequence of tourists not returning to China after the registration period is that they will be regarded as illegal residents. According to the relevant laws and regulations, the public security organ at or above the county level may impose a warning, a fine or a detention penalty of not more than 10 days on those who illegally reside in China; If the circumstances are serious enough to constitute a crime, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law.

Generally speaking, if you don't return to China after the tourist visa expires, it will bring the following adverse effects:

1, the period of stay for traveling abroad shall not exceed the validity period of the visa, that is to say, it is illegal to stay abroad after using a tourist visa to go abroad. Once discovered by local law enforcement agencies, they will face the consequences of being repatriated and will be fined after returning home. Serious cases will be punished by China laws, investigated for criminal responsibility, and even administrative detention.

2. Moreover, according to the provisions of China's Passport Law, "if a person is repatriated due to illegal exit, illegal residence or illegal employment, the passport issuing organ will not issue a passport within six months to three years from the date of his punishment or repatriation.

3. Forced repatriation does not apply to everyone. If forced repatriation is implemented, you will see that you will not go to these countries in the short term, but the stain on your personal file cannot be washed away.

What if the visa expires?

Apply for renewal. If the visa expires, but there are still things to stay, you must remember to bring your valid documents and materials to the relevant departments in advance. Under normal circumstances, the exit-entry administration department will go through the formalities of extension and replacement. Whether and how long it can be postponed depends on the policies and regulations of the host country. If you can't renew it, you'd better leave the country before the validity period.

Now that the country's economic level has improved, people pay more and more attention to the quality of material life, and more and more people travel abroad. We need a valid visa to travel abroad and to enter or leave a country. Once the visa expires, it will be very troublesome for us to leave the country. Today, let's take a look at the consequences of not returning to China after the tourist visa expires.

1. What's the problem when the visa expires?

If you encounter the problem of expired visa, the problem that can be remedied in time is to renew it immediately. You only need to bring valid documents and materials to the relevant departments. Under normal circumstances, the exit-entry administration department will go through the formalities of extension and replacement. Whether and how long it can be postponed depends on the policies and regulations of the host country. If the extension is impossible, everyone is ready to return to China.

Second, what are the consequences of not returning to China after the visa expires?

First, if the visa has expired and everyone has not returned to China, the biggest problem is that according to China's Exit and Entry Administration Law, citizens may be detained for less than 10 days.

Administrative detention, if the circumstances are serious, will also be investigated for criminal responsibility. Therefore, we must pay attention to some time restrictions before going abroad and renew the visa in time before it expires.

Secondly, it is illegal to fail to return to China after the visa expires. If found by the local government, they will be repatriated and will be fined and criminally liable after returning home. For personal future work and credit problems, there will be problems, affecting future life. Citizens repatriated to China will not be issued passports within six months to three years from the date of returning to China.

Third, if the circumstances are more serious, the detention time is too long. At this time, if you are forced to return to China, the stain on your personal file will not be washed away, and you will never be able to go to this country again. Generally speaking, the punishment for each item will not be too light. Remember to pay attention to the time limit when going abroad.
