How to go abroad

Some problems that should be paid attention to when going abroad.

1. Reasons for going abroad and passport. The reasons why citizens go abroad for private affairs refer to non-official activities such as settling down, visiting relatives, visiting friends, studying abroad, obtaining employment, traveling and engaging in business. Although the reasons are different, the passports applied for are the same. The difference of various reasons is only reflected in the reasons for leaving the country on the exit registration card. Except for those who have settled abroad, all other reasons for leaving the country should be marked as "short-term departure". In other words, "short-term departure" represents all reasons such as visiting relatives, friends, studying abroad, employment, tourism, business activities and so on. Therefore, the terms "study passport", "travel passport" and "business passport" are inaccurate.

By the way, the passport is valid for five years and can be extended twice for five years each time. While holding a passport, always pay attention to the validity period of the passport. Even if you use a passport that has expired for one day, you will be ruthlessly stopped by border inspectors.

Second, the time to apply for a passport. When you apply for a passport, except for special emergencies, you can apply for 5 working days for expedited procedures, and all others are 14 working days. 14 working days, which may actually be about 20 days. Some applicants will think that 20 days is too long, or that it is too expensive to apply for a passport because they have not made plans in advance. In fact, it is convenient and quick to refer to the following methods. Go through the entry-exit formalities at the Exit-Entry Administration Office of Beijing Public Security Bureau, No.2 Andingmen East Street, Dongcheng District, on Saturday or at noon. Second, get the application form and application instructions from the Exit-Entry Administration Office of the Public Security Bureau and more than 300 household registration police stations. For example, people living in Yanqing, Miyun and other places may only need a few minutes to get the application form nearby, while it may take several hours or even a day to get to the Exit-Entry Administration Office of Beijing Public Security Bureau. Third, prepare in advance. Travel abroad requires an international currency deposit certificate equivalent to $4,000 in the applicant's name. Without foreign exchange deposit certificate, you can also join overseas tour groups organized by travel agencies. Therefore, if you have savings or prepared the expenses for traveling abroad, you have the conditions to apply for a passport for traveling abroad. If you want to travel abroad on New Year's Day, Spring Festival, May Day and November Day, you have to apply several months in advance and get a visa, which will give you plenty of time. There is no need to worry. Moreover, the off-peak time can also save the time of queuing when applying or being unable to make a trip because of the limited number of tour groups. Traveling abroad is like this, and studying abroad can also be prepared early. One of the prerequisites for studying abroad is to have a considerable amount of foreign exchange, so that you can apply for a passport first. Because the admission notice does not clearly indicate the start date, it is impossible to go through the expedited procedures. The condition for expedited application for studying abroad is "less than one month after the start of school".

Third, the specifications of the photos. In the corresponding position of the application form, you need to post a recent straight-edge bareheaded photo. Photos should be glossy paper with a white or light blue background (white clothes must have a light blue background). Public officials do not wear standard clothes, and children do not wear red scarves. One-time snapshots, re-taken photos or photos printed by color printers do not meet the specification requirements.

After submitting the application form, you need to take a special passport photo in the reception hall with the application receipt of the private exit certificate and your ID card. Therefore, applicants should pay attention to their clothes and appearance when applying. Otherwise, you have to change clothes or get a haircut back and forth. In addition, passport photos taken in the reception hall cannot be provided to applicants.

Fourth, fill out the application form. The application form must be filled in black or blue-black ink. It is forbidden to use sky blue, green or red ink. The handwriting on the application form shall be clear and neat, and shall not be altered.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) translation of foreign materials. According to different reasons for going abroad, you need to submit corresponding certification materials. The certification materials are valid for 6 months from the date of issuance. If it is a foreign language, it must be translated into Chinese by a designated translation company. The designated translation companies are: Beijing Shuangxiong Foreign Service Company (Address: No.3 Andingmen East Street, Dongcheng District, Tel: 64054040), Beijing Foreign Language Translation Service Company (Address: No.48, Xintaicang 1st Lane, Beixinqiao, Dongcheng District, Tel: 64049368) and China Foreign Language Translation Publishing Company (Address: No.4, Taiping Bridge Street, Xicheng District, Tel: 665438).

Sixth, don't cheat. According to the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Administration of Exit and Entry of Citizens and its detailed rules for implementation, those who fabricate information, provide false certificates or obtain exit and entry certificates by bribery will be punished by public security organs. The types of punishment include warning, detention and investigation of criminal responsibility. Therefore, when filling in the application form and submitting relevant supporting materials, the applicant must seek truth from facts and must not resort to deceit. Don't take chances, because fake things are really impossible. Of course, people who have the right to "sign and seal" should cherish their rights and don't issue illegal proof materials because of the temptation of secular and money.

Seven, study abroad should be handled through legal intermediaries. In order to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of entry-exit citizens, the public security organs, in cooperation with the education department, the administrative department for industry and commerce, and the labor and social security department, continue to carry out activities to ban and crack down on illegal intermediaries. However, some institutions or individuals still illegally set up entry-exit intermediary agencies to engage in entry-exit intermediary activities in order to gain high economic benefits, use others to study abroad, charge high fees or defraud money. Therefore, students studying abroad must enhance their awareness of law and self-protection, contact with legal intermediaries to find out whether the undertaking agency has a business license, whether the procedures are legal and whether the fees are reasonable, and sign an effective contract with the intermediary. In this way, once the rights and interests are infringed, compensation can be made through legal channels. If you are cheated through illegal intermediaries, don't just want to cry, but actively report the situation to the relevant departments to prevent others from repeating the same mistakes. (Wu Chu)
