Citizens and enterprises have new measures to facilitate the people in handling entry and exit business. In order to serve and promote high-level opening-up and high-quality development, serve and ensure the implementation of major national strategies, and comply with the new expectations and requirements of the people, the National Immigration Administration has decided to officially implement several policies and measures for the entry and exit management of convenience and enterprises from May 6, 2024. Among them, the pilot implementation of "full online processing" for the renewal and replacement of entry documents, and the realization of "intelligent expeditious processing" and "nationwide general processing" for business endorsements to Hong Kong and Macao.
The "full online application" for the renewal and reissuance of entry documents has been implemented on a pilot basis in 20 cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Chongqing, and Chengdu. Residents of these cities who are over the age of 16 and who are not registered state workers and military personnel on active duty can apply online for the renewal of their entry documents. For those who meet the conditions and requirements, the exit-entry administration authority of the public security organ at the place of household registration will approve and issue the certificate within 7 working days.
"At present, there are three types of documents that can be applied for online, namely the ordinary passport of the People's Republic of China, the Permit for Travelling to and from Hong Kong and Macao and the Permit for Travelling to and from Taiwan. Pan Xinxin, deputy head of the Exit and Entry Administration Detachment of the Chongqing Municipal Public Security Bureau, said.
Ms. Xie, a citizen, was one of the first applicants to enjoy the convenience of "full online application". She found out that her passport was about to expire in three months, so she tried to apply for a renewal on the "12367" WeChat mini-program of the National Immigration Administration. To her surprise, she received the next day that the audit had been completed and the payment was notified.
"In the past, I needed to come to the site to apply for passport renewal, but now I only need to move my fingers online, and I can apply in a few minutes, and if I choose to mail it, I can get the certificate without leaving home, which is very convenient." Ms. Xie said.
It should be reminded that if you apply for entry and exit for the first time and your documents have expired, you still need to go to the site to handle it. At the same time, when submitting the application online, the real-time location of the applicant must be in the mainland.
For enterprises, the new policy also brings great convenience. Starting from May 6, mainland residents can apply for a business endorsement to Hong Kong and Macao at any exit and entry administration window of the public security organ across the country. Applicants who have applied for multiple business endorsements can also use smart endorsement devices to achieve "immediate advisability". At the same time, the period of stay in Hong Kong and Macao for holders of business visas to Hong Kong and Macao has also been extended from 7 days to 14 days.
"It can be done in a few minutes, you can take it on the spot, and you can endorse it anywhere in the country, which is more convenient for us." Qing Guojiang, a staff member of Chongqing Chaotianmen Wharf Food (Group) Co., Ltd., told reporters that because his catering company has expanded its business to Hong Kong, the staff needs to travel back and forth between Chongqing and Hong Kong, "and now it has been extended to 14 days, which also saves our time and costs." ”
