What are the ways to apply for a visa to go abroad

Legal Analysis: Most countries that have established diplomatic relations with China have set up embassies or consulates in China. The embassy is located in Beijing, the capital, and the Consulate General is located in a city with developed economy and a large population. Some countries or regions that have not yet established embassies or consulates either have consulates in Hong Kong or entrust other offices to handle visa affairs. There are three ways for China citizens to apply for foreign visas: (1) I apply directly to foreign embassies and consulates in China; (2) Entrust the visa office of China Travel Agency to handle tourist visas; (3) Foreign relatives and friends directly apply for a visa to the country's immigration bureau.

Legal basis: Article 7 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Exit and Entry Administration has been approved by the State Council, and the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can make provisions on keeping biometric information such as fingerprints of entry and exit personnel according to the needs of exit and entry administration. If foreign governments have special regulations on visa issuance and entry and exit management for China citizens, the China government can take corresponding reciprocal measures according to the situation.
