The documents required for going abroad are as follows:

The word passport means port pass in English. In other words, a passport is a passport for citizens to pass through international ports in various countries. Therefore, some countries in the world usually issue passes instead of passports.

2. Visa: A visa is the endorsement 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 its own territory or pass through its own territory. 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. Visas are generally endorsed on passports, and some are endorsed on other travel documents instead of passports. Generally speaking, a visa must be used at the same time as a passport to be valid.

3. Travel documents: Citizens who have gone abroad for a short period of time cannot use their passports abroad because of their loss, theft or damage, and should apply for a travel permit of the People's Republic of China from China's embassies and consulates abroad or other overseas institutions entrusted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
