Starting from October 9, people from other countries living in China can use the internet to set up visa appointments and get information about visas. This makes it easier for them to apply for and handle their visas. These services will be on the government’s website for visas.
People can:
- Make appointments online for visa extensions, replacements, renewals, and staying longer in China.
- Check how their visa application is going.
- See details about visas, like how to get an extension or renewal.
- Look at their permanent residence card and passport information.
- Find out where to go for visas and permits in different parts of China.
- Get clear instructions on how to extend visas and permits.
- Get help for their foreign family members and friends with visa issues.
These new services should help people from other countries and foreign businesses in China by making the visa process easier and more convenient for them.
