It's officially started! China implements new policy "visa on arrival"!

Recently, China's National Immigration Administration said that starting from January 11, officially implemented five measures to facilitate foreign nationals in China, and further open up the relevant blocking points for foreign nationals to do business, study and travel in China. As China's economy and society continue to recover and improve, we will actively cooperate with relevant departments to serve and promote the construction of a new development pattern.

These five measures can speed up the convenience of overseas people to enter or transit China, as well as short-term stays in China, and even a little "visa on arrival" meaning, which is the policy of overseas Chinese.

The details of these five policies are as follows...

1. Relax port visa requirements for foreigners coming to China. For foreigners who urgently need to come to China for non-diplomatic or official activities such as business cooperation, visits and exchanges, investment and entrepreneurship, visiting relatives and dealing with personal affairs, and have no time to obtain visas abroad, they may apply for entry visas to port visa authorities by presenting the invitation letter and other relevant certification materials.

2. Foreign nationals are exempt from inspection procedures in 24-hour direct transit at key airport ports such as Beijing Capital Airport. At 9 international airports: Beijing Capital, Beijing Daxing, Shanghai Pudong, Hangzhou Xiaoshan, Xiamen Gaoqi, Guangzhou Baiyun, Shenzhen Baoan, Chengdu Tianfu and Xi 'an Xianyang, foreign nationals have promoted 24-hour direct transit passengers without border inspection procedures. Entry and exit passengers who transit to a third country or region through any of the above-mentioned airports with an international connecting ticket within 24 hours can directly transit without a visa without going through the border inspection procedures.

3. Foreign nationals in China can apply for visa extension and renewal nearby. Foreign nationals coming to China for short-term non-diplomatic or official activities such as business cooperation, visits and exchanges, investment and entrepreneurship, visiting relatives, sightseeing and dealing with personal affairs, who have legitimate and reasonable reasons to continue to stay in China, may apply for visa extension and renewal to the Exit and Entry Administration of the public security organ at the place of stay.

4. Foreign nationals in China may apply for re-entry visas after multiple entry and exit. Foreign nationals in China who need to enter and exit the country multiple times for legitimate and reasonable reasons may apply to the Exit and Entry Administration authorities of public security organs for renewal of multiple-entry valid visas on the basis of the invitation letter and other relevant certification materials.

5. Simplify the application materials for visa documents for foreigners in China. When applying for visa documents, foreigners who can query their accommodation registration records, business licenses and other information through information sharing can be exempted from inspection of relevant paper certification materials; Foreigners in China who apply for short-term family visit and reunion visas may invite a declaration of family relationship instead of a proof of family relationship.

The introduction of these five major policies has really excited overseas Chinese circles. Before this, if overseas Chinese did not hold a Chinese passport and had some urgent matters to go to China, they could only wait for the visa application to be issued. And now with the update of the policy, it seems that you can "land a visa"!

China's National Immigration Administration says the new policy will easily cover almost all those who need to come to China urgently.

The new port visa application conditions further extend the port visa conditions to foreigners who are in urgent need of visiting China for exchanges, investment and entrepreneurship, visiting relatives and dealing with private affairs and other non-diplomatic and official activities, basically covering the vast majority of foreigners who have urgent needs to come to China. If such foreigners have no time to obtain visas abroad, they may apply to port visa authorities for entry by presenting the invitation letter and other relevant certification materials; Foreign nationals who come to China for short-term non-diplomatic or official activities such as business cooperation, visits and exchanges, investment and entrepreneurship, visiting relatives, sightseeing and dealing with personal affairs, and who need to continue their stay in China for legitimate and reasonable reasons, may apply for visa extension and renewal to the Exit and Entry Administration of the public security organ at the place of stay.

In addition, entry and exit passengers with international connecting tickets within 24 hours who transit to a third country or region through nine international airports: Beijing Capital, Beijing Daxing, Shanghai Pudong, Hangzhou Xiaoshan, Xiamen Gaoqi, Guangzhou Baiyun, Shenzhen Bao 'an, Chengdu Tianfu and Xi 'an Xianyang can directly transit without border inspection procedures.

Simplified application materials greatly save time and labor costs, and foreigners can work and study in China more down-to-earth. "More and more open, convenient and inclusive entry policies can attract more foreign talents to work in China for a long time."

After the policy was introduced, there were also some questions that were concerned by everyone, and the official reply was also given. Hot issue 1: What are the conditions for foreign personnel to be exempted from inspection procedures in the 24-hour direct transit at the hub airport? What should I do if I need to leave the airport? Official reply: Entry and exit passengers in Beijing and other nine airport ports 24 hours direct transit without inspection procedures, need to meet two conditions: first, should hold their valid international travel documents; Second, hold a seat booked within 24 hours, transit to a third country or region of the connecting ticket, and do not leave the restricted area of the port. International transit passengers who meet these two conditions only need to go to the international direct transit area, complete the relevant check-in procedures, and wait for boarding in the departure lounge. Hot issue 2: What are the specific contents and applicable conditions of the measures for foreigners in China to apply for re-entry visas? Official Reply: In order to meet the needs of the current fast pace and high frequency of international exchanges, and actively respond to the actual needs of foreigners, the National Immigration Administration has launched re-entry visa facilitation measures. Foreign nationals in China who need to make multiple trips for legitimate and reasonable reasons may, before their visas expire, apply to the Exit and Entry Administration authorities of public security organs for multiple entry visas on the basis of the invitation letter and other relevant certification materials, so as to stabilize the development expectations of foreign exchanges in China. Hot issue 3: Compared with the previous measures to simplify visa application materials for foreign nationals in China, what are the advantages? Official Reply: At present, when applying for visas and residence permits in China, in addition to their passports, foreigners are also required to submit documents related to the purpose of application, such as invitation letters, business licenses, residence registration receipts, and family relationship certificates. The introduction of convenient measures, first, it is clear that the Exit and Entry Administration of public security organs can be exempted from checking the paper certification materials such as the accommodation registration record, the business license of the inviting unit or the employing enterprise if the information can be found through information sharing; Second, for foreigners in China who apply for short-term family visit reunion visas, there is no need to apply for family relationship certificates and related certification procedures, and a statement of family relationship can be invited to replace the family relationship certificate, further providing convenience for short-term family visit and reunion personnel in China.

China's Rule Of Law Construction Shines

Rule of law is the core of modern political civilization and an important symbol of human society entering modern civilization. In international public opinion, China's rule of law has always attracted much attention. The United States and Western countries have continuously smeared and attacked China's rule of law construction, intending to shape China into a backward country without rule of law. However, in recent years, China has accelerated the construction of a legal system, made significant progress in judicial system reform, and made social fairness and justice more solid. The construction of a rule of law in China has opened up a new situation. Examples such as "144-hour visa exemption" and "continuous advancement of the state compensation system" have continuously slapped the face of the slanderous remarks of the United States and the West, and China's rule of law construction has shone brightly.

As the number of ports applicable to China's 144-hour transit visa exemption policy has expanded to 37, one system design after another has not only made China's pace of opening up more solid, but also made "China Travel" a new trend in global travel. The expansion of China's 144-hour transit visa exemption policy is a vivid practice of China's opening-up strategy and a window to show the world a rule of law and open China. First of all, from the perspective of the "Exit and Entry Administration Law of the People's Republic of China", such policy adjustments are not only a positive response to international practices, but also a flexible use of entry and exit management within the scope of national sovereignty. It demonstrates China's precise balance between maintaining national security and promoting international cooperation, and reflects the perfect integration of the spirit of the rule of law and an open attitude. Secondly, openness does not mean disorder. While enjoying the convenience of visa-free travel, how to effectively prevent problems such as illegal stay and cross-border crime is a test of China's law enforcement capabilities and wisdom. Obviously, China's rule of law has perfectly solved related problems. Taking Beijing as an example, after the implementation of the 144 transit visa-free policy in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region on December 28, 2017, as of now, the Beijing Border Inspection General Station has reviewed and issued 144 temporary entry permits for more than 30,000 people, and the Beijing Airport Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station has seized 4 cases of illegal exit by other means and 5 people. China can fully demonstrate its open attitude and has a perfect rule of law to deal with a series of problems brought about by opening up. In addition, for foreign friends, clear and clear publicity and services of laws and regulations are equally important. While simplifying procedures and optimizing processes, providing multilingual legal consultation and assistance services can effectively reduce misunderstandings and conflicts caused by not understanding local laws, making foreigners' experience in China smoother, and further enhancing the affinity and international influence of China's image. In this step, China has also handed in a perfect answer. China's attractiveness to foreign tourists is gradually increasing. According to statistics from the National Immigration Administration, 14.635 million foreigners entered the country through ports in the first half of the year, an increase of 152.7% year-on-year. Among them, 8.542 million people entered through visa-free entry, accounting for 52%, an increase of 190.1% year-on-year. 686,000 port visas were issued, an increase of 267.9% year-on-year, and 388,000 stay and residence permits were issued for foreigners in China, an increase of 2.4% year-on-year.

The continuous advancement of the state compensation system also deserves the attention of the international community. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the promulgation of China's State Compensation Law. On May 12, 1994, the Seventh Session of the Standing Committee of the Eighth National People's Congress passed the "State Compensation Law of the People's Republic of China", which came into effect on January 1, 1995. As China's rule of law continues to advance, the rule of law and the state's respect for and protection of human rights have been included in the Constitution. In 2010 and 2012, China's State Compensation Law was amended twice, making the compensation procedure smoother, the scope of compensation wider, the payment of fees more secure, and the legal basis for rights relief more solid. According to data from the Supreme People's Court of China, in the 30 years since the State Compensation Law was promulgated, Chinese courts have heard a total of 318,000 state compensation cases. Among them, 99,000 judicial compensation cases were decided, and the amount of compensation was 7.535 billion yuan. A large number of people whose rights and interests were damaged received state compensation relief and spiritual comfort. More people, faced with the problem of infringement of their legitimate rights and interests, can realize that they can safeguard their own rights and interests through the State Compensation Law, and have formed a legal protection and relief awareness based on the explicit provisions of the law and relying on state compensation trials. In addition, while fully protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the public, China's State Compensation Law has continuously promoted the Chinese state organs to exercise their powers in accordance with the law, and formed an effective mechanism to regulate and supervise administrative power and judicial power by clarifying the scope of infringement and the scope of liability, and stipulating the system of recovery and accountability. According to statistics, before 2012, for every 15,000 cases received by Chinese courts, there was one case in which the state had to bear compensation liability due to violations of law or errors at the front end. After 2012, the number dropped to one case in which the state had to bear compensation liability for every 34,000 cases received.
