China's Ministry of Public Security recently held a press conference to inform a number of measures to ensure high-quality service development of public security organs, and relevant measures will strive to be deployed and implemented by the end of August. It is reported that foreigners applying for residence permits may not retain the original passport after verification of their valid passports in accordance with the regulations, so as to facilitate foreigners to handle relevant matters with their passports during this period.

　　According to the current regulations, when applying for residence permits in China, foreigners should submit their passports to the Exit and Entry Administration department of the public security organ for review and return them when receiving the residence permits. With the improvement of the informatization, standardization and standardization of immigration management services, the Ministry of Public Security and the National Immigration Administration have taken the initiative to respond to the practical needs of facilitating the application of passports for foreigners in China, and decided to introduce convenient measures of "foreigners applying for residence permits are exempt from retaining passports".

　　Jia Tongbin, deputy director of the Department of Foreigners Management of the National Immigration Administration, said the measure focuses on permanent foreigners working, studying, scientific research, investment, innovation and entrepreneurship in China and visiting relatives, so that they can continue to carry out social affairs such as travel, accommodation, taxation, banking and mailing with their passports during the period of applying for residence permits. The move is expected to benefit at least 700,000 people a year, help create a more efficient and convenient business environment and a relaxed and friendly foreign environment, further stimulate market vitality, and promote high-level opening up and high-quality development.

　　Among the measures notified by the Ministry of Public Security, another measure is to facilitate the issuance of port visas and multiple visa renewals for foreign business personnel in China. According to reports, for foreigners who come to China for business negotiations, business exchanges, installation and maintenance, exhibitors, investment and entrepreneurship, and have no time to apply for visas to China outside the country, they can apply for port visas to enter the country with the invitation letter and certification materials. For those who need to return multiple times due to commercial business, they can be replaced with a valid business visa for multiple entry within 3 years after entry.

　　Jia Tongbin said that since China implemented the "Class B and B management" for the new coronavirus infection, the exit and entry policy has been fully restored, and international personnel exchanges have gradually returned to normal. Some domestic enterprises and foreign executives and businessmen have urgent needs to quickly apply for visas and facilitate business activities in China. In order to comply with the rules of trade and help domestic and export-oriented enterprises "cause", the Ministry of Public Security and the National Immigration Administration decided to provide port visas and multiple visa facilities for foreign business personnel.

　　"This measure will further promote cross-border business personnel exchanges, facilitate foreign executives, businessmen and other personnel to carry out trade cooperation, visit and negotiation in China in a smooth and efficient manner, help domestic enterprises seize the opportunity to seize orders, expand the international market, seize the opportunity in the new round of industrial revolution, better ensure the flow of international personnel factors, and maintain the security and stability of industrial chain supply chain." Jia Tongbin said.
