It's about to Spring Festival holiday. This should be the longest time of rest for us in the year. Many friends are also preparing for their first overseas trip. Do you know what procedures are required for the first overseas trip? After all, the formalities are not complete, so we can't leave the country. Today, I'm going to learn about the procedures for going abroad for tourism?
visa
Nowadays, many countries have implemented visa exemption for Chinese citizens, such as Jeju in South Korea and Bali in Indonesia, but there are still some countries that need troublesome visa procedures. You need to know whether you need to apply for a visa in China according to the destination. Visa is divided into paper visa, electronic visa, landing visa and visa free.
Visas generally need to be processed 1-2 months in advance, and visa application process for some destinations is lengthy, which requires a longer time in advance.
passport
No matter which country you want to go to, passport is the first thing you have to deal with. It is the legal and valid identity certificate when you travel abroad. You can apply at the entry and exit office of the local public security bureau. Starting from September 1 this year, mainland residents can apply for replacement (Supplement) of entry certificates and apply for entry and exit certificates within 7 working days nationwide.
Money changing
In general, multiple conversions should be avoided in order to reduce the loss caused by multiple conversions. You can go to the bank with your ID card.
Entry procedures
Every country should carry out strict inspection on inbound passengers, and the departments dealing with these procedures are generally set up at ports, entry and exit places, such as airport stations or docks.
The entry inspection includes frontier inspection. The entry and exit card shall be filled in by the entry and exit personnel. The passport and visa shall be inspected and the entry and exit inspection seal shall be stamped on the inspection certificate.
The main purpose of customs inspection is to fill in the declaration form of carrying goods. The customs inspects whether the luggage and articles of tourists are against the rules and whether there are contraband goods. Some countries also need to fill in the declaration form of foreign currency and check when leaving the country.
