Procedures for handling passports and visas abroad

Procedures for handling passports for going abroad. Passport for going abroad for personal reasons: citizens go abroad for personal reasons because of non-official activities such as designated residence, visiting relatives, friends, studying abroad, employment, tourism and engaging in business. Although the reasons are different, the passports applied for are the same. The difference of various reasons is only reflected in the reasons for leaving the country on the exit registration card. Except for those who have settled abroad, all other reasons for leaving the country should be marked as "short-term departure". In other words, "short-term departure" represents all reasons such as visiting relatives, friends, studying abroad, employment, tourism, and engaging in business activities. Therefore, the terms "study passport", "travel passport" and "business passport" are inaccurate.

Without foreign exchange deposit certificate, you can also join overseas tour groups organized by travel agencies.

There is no need to worry. Moreover, the off-peak time can also save the time of queuing when applying or being unable to make a trip because of the limited number of tour groups. Traveling abroad is like this, and studying abroad can also be prepared early. One of the prerequisites for studying abroad is to have a considerable amount of foreign exchange, so that you can apply for a passport first. Because the admission notice does not clearly indicate the start date, it is impossible to go through the expedited procedures. The condition for expedited application for studying abroad is "less than one month in school". 3.

Photos should be glossy paper with a white or light blue background (white clothes must have a light blue background).

One-time snapshots, re-taken photos or photos printed by color printers do not meet the specification requirements. After submitting the application form, you need to take a special passport photo in the reception hall with the application receipt of the private exit certificate and your ID card. Therefore, applicants should pay attention to their clothes and appearance when applying. Otherwise, you have to change clothes or get a haircut back and forth.

According to the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) China on the Administration of Exit and Entry of Citizens and its detailed rules for implementation, those who fabricate information, provide false certificates or obtain exit and entry certificates by bribery will be punished by public security organs. The types of punishment include warning, detention and investigation of criminal responsibility. Therefore, when filling in the application form and submitting relevant supporting materials, the applicant must seek truth from facts and must not resort to deceit. Don't take chances, because fake things are really impossible. Of course, people who have the right to "sign and seal" should cherish their rights and don't issue illegal proof materials because of the temptation of the world and money. Seven. In order to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of entry-exit citizens, public security organs cooperate with education departments, industrial and commercial administrative departments, labor and social security departments to continuously carry out activities to ban and crack down on illegal intermediaries. However, some institutions or individuals still illegally set up entry-exit intermediary agencies to engage in entry-exit intermediary activities in order to gain high economic benefits, use others to study abroad, charge high fees or defraud money. Therefore, students studying abroad must enhance their awareness of law and self-protection, contact with legal intermediaries to find out whether the undertaking agency has a business license, whether the procedures are legal and whether the fees are reasonable, and sign an effective contract with the intermediary. In this way, once the rights and interests are infringed, compensation can be made through legal channels. If you are cheated through illegal intermediaries, don't just want to cry, but actively report the situation to the relevant departments to prevent others from repeating the same mistakes. While holding a passport, always pay attention to the validity period of the passport. Even if you use a passport that has expired for one day, you will be ruthlessly stopped by border inspectors.
