The difference between visa-free and landing visa

The difference between visa-free and landing visa is that visa-free is not required; Apply for a visa on the spot after arriving at the border.

Visa-free means that you can stay from one country to another for seven days to six months without a visa. According to the laws of our country, individuals must have a visa of the destination country when leaving the country, and their passports must have at least one valid visa abroad. Passport must be valid for more than half a year. Applicants in landing visa need to provide relatively complete personal data, designated photos, ID cards, passports, visa fees, round-trip air tickets to and from their home countries or third countries, the address of hotels or other residences, sufficient funds and application documents.

Many countries have relevant regulations on the articles carried by inbound passengers. Fruits, some medicines, animals and plants are strictly controlled. You must prepare the hotel order and a certain amount of money as proof of traveling to the country. The immigration bureau of any country has the right to check the amount of funds carried by foreign guests entering the country, and the state has the right to refuse the entry of tourists who do not carry the tourist reserve fund within the scope recognized by the state.

Matters needing attention in applying for visa on arrival

1, it is best to contact the embassy of the host country in advance.

Applicants must pay attention to the fact that few countries apply for such visas on arrival, and the visa policy may change at any time. Applicants are advised to contact the embassy of the destination country before departure, find out clearly before departure, and never act blindly to avoid landing visas.

2. You need to join the group

Although some countries and regions allow China tourists to "landing visa", it does not mean that citizens with private passports can leave the country by purchasing air tickets. According to China's entry and exit laws and regulations, if you want to travel to some landing visa countries, you must join a tour group and organize a tour group in a qualified travel agency. For example, in Vietnam, ordinary passengers who participate in tour groups organized by Vietnam International Travel Service can apply for visas on arrival at the international port (Hanoi) for a stay of 1 month.
