If you have difficulty traveling abroad, you can find an embassy or consulate.

When traveling or working abroad, if the legitimate rights and interests are infringed, you can seek help from China's embassies and consulates abroad, and reflect the relevant requirements through diplomatic channels in accordance with the principles of international law, including international conventions, bilateral treaties or agreements, and relevant laws of China and the host country, and urge the relevant authorities of the host country to handle them fairly, legally, amicably and properly. This is called "consular protection" in diplomacy.

Q: I held a China passport when I went abroad, and now I have obtained the nationality of my country of residence. Can I still enjoy the consular protection of the local embassy or consulate in China?

A: According to the Nationality Law of the People's Republic of China, China does not recognize dual nationality. China citizens who have settled in foreign countries voluntarily join or acquire foreign nationality will automatically lose their China nationality and will no longer enjoy the consular protection and services provided by China's embassies and consulates abroad.

Q: What should I do if my China passport is lost, stolen or robbed abroad?

A: Please report the loss to your local police immediately and apply for an exit visa in your country if necessary. We would like you to note that buying, selling, transferring, forging and intentionally damaging China passports are illegal acts and may bear relevant legal responsibilities.

Q: How can I get help when my valid visa is blocked in the country of destination?

A: First of all, you should truthfully explain to the national authorities the reasons for entry, exit or transit, and at the same time understand the reasons for the obstruction. If your request is still not approved by the relevant departments, you can also ask to contact the Embassy or Consulate of China for help. Consular officials will ask the relevant authorities about the situation, reflect the claimant's request as appropriate, or make necessary representations, but there is no guarantee that you will be released. If negotiation fails, you should accept the decision of the local authorities; If you are really treated unfairly by the other party, you should pay attention to collecting and preserving evidence so that you can complain in the future or handle it through legal procedures.

Q: How to deal with traffic accidents and work-related injuries outside China?

Answer: If you encounter a traffic accident or work-related injury abroad, you should immediately report it to the local police or notify your employer, and ask to inform your relatives and friends or the embassy or consulate of China in that country. You can ask the consular officer to urge the authorities of the host country to punish the perpetrators, or help you seek compensation through legal channels or from the insurance company (if you are insured).
