Are there any restrictions on going abroad in the near future?

Around the Spring Festival in 2020, a new type of pneumonia broke out in Wuhan, making the whole people basically stay at home. All scenic spots are closed, and a large number of flight routes are closed, making it increasingly difficult to travel abroad. First of all, 64 countries and regions have imposed visa restrictions on tourists from China, and the number of international flights has been greatly reduced, making it increasingly difficult to travel abroad and return home.

On the afternoon of June 5438+1October 3 1 Sunday, local time, the White House announced that the novel coronavirus epidemic constituted a national public health emergency for the United States. The temporary restrictions announced on February 2 include that American citizens who have visited Hubei within the previous 14 days should be subject to compulsory quarantine and visit for up to 14 days when entering the United States.

Foreign citizens who have visited China in the previous 14 days are temporarily prohibited from entering the United States, except American citizens or immediate family members of American green card holders.

List of recent immigration control measures adopted by relevant countries and regions:

Since the outbreak of pneumonia, many countries have taken temporary restrictions, which will have different degrees of impact on those who have not returned home or plan to travel abroad.

So how do you adjust your travel plan according to these measures? 1, tourists on the journey:

For tourists who encounter flight cancellation, they can choose to extend their holidays or change their visas. For those who need to change their visas, you need to pay attention to the following points:

About who to find?

In principle, where to find tickets. If the ticket is issued by an airline, directly ask the airline to return and change the ticket; If you buy a plane ticket on OTA, look for OTA; If the ticket is issued by an agent here, find an agent.

You want to say, what if the phone can't get in? At present, there are too many airline changes, and the trick is to call foreign customer service or foreign language hotline, which is basically connected once every second. Of course, if your English is good.

Which airline can I change?

In case the flight is cancelled, try to change to the alliance, especially the domestic airlines of the alliance, such as UA. Isn't it a large-scale cancellation of flights between China and the United States, and you can take Air China of Star Alliance instead, if Air China has flights?

At present, most flights are cancelled by foreign airlines. Among domestic airlines, Air China and Shenzhen Airlines belong to the Star Alliance; Cathay Pacific is a global family; China Eastern Airlines and Xiamen Airlines are SkyTeam.

There are also Hainan Airlines and China Southern Airlines, and there are also a bunch of friends to play with. They can change it as long as there is an agreement.

Bypass other countries?

If you can't go back to China directly, you can switch to neighboring countries and come back. For example, UA can change Asiana to Seoul and ANA to Tokyo. There will definitely be more flights returning from neighboring countries than from distant destinations.

However, it should be noted that Singapore has refused entry and transit, and I wonder if other countries will follow suit.

Re-purchase tickets

The epidemic affected everyone's travel. Of course, some air tickets will also be reduced. You can consider buying another ticket, maybe it will be cheaper.

2. Passengers who have not traveled:

At present, it seems that it is a high probability to cancel the travel plan before May. Free travel is slightly better, and it is almost impossible to travel with a group.

1. Pay more attention to the China Consular Service Network and their official WeChat account to understand the immigration policy.

Because of the latest and most comprehensive entry and exit information, which countries are forbidden to enter, which countries do not issue visas, and even which countries are unsafe, they will be informed one by one on the China Consular Service Network.

2. Download apps such as Hanglv Zongheng, and find out for the first time whether there is any flight change on your flight.

Pay attention to the announcement of the travel products you booked. At present, OTA reservations can basically be cancelled before February 29.

These announcements are not immutable. For example, if it is booked at the beginning of April, you can change it in a hurry (it is often not good to change the policy in April now), and it is more appropriate to wait until the new policy is released at the end of February and early March.

For those who have to go out, remember to apply for a visa early. At present, Japan, Vietnam and Singapore temporarily refuse visas, and there will be more in the future, so if you must go out, remember to apply for visas early.

I suggest that during the period when the epidemic is not completely and effectively controlled, you should go out as little as possible and don't gather in the outside world and densely populated places.
