Visa issuing spots set up in Yinzhou and Beilun

On the morning of December 8, the Exit and Entry Reception Hall was quite busy with a large group of foreigners coming for visa documents. In the past, if the foreigners want to apply for visa, they had to go to the Exit and Entry Reception Window of the Ningbo Municipal Public Security Bureau at the Administration Service Center of the eastern new town.

It is reported that as of July 1, 2013, the "Exit-Entry Administration Law" has been put into operation. According to the new law, the foreigners can apply for visa through the exit-entry administration organs of the entrusted public security departments at the county level. From December 8, Yinzhou Public Security Bureau and Beilun Public Security Bureau have become the first batch of public security departments at the county level in Ningbo to start the visa issuing, entrusted by the Exit-entry Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security of China.

According to Mao Qicun, Director of the Exit-entry Administration Department of Ningbo Municipal Public Security Bureau, there are now over 400,000 foreigners entering Ningbo every year, and about 10,000 constant foreign residents, and the amount is on the rise year by year. Statistics show that Yinzhou District, Beilun District and Haishu District are the three major areas where most foreigners choose to work and live. That is the reason why Yinzhou District and Beilun District have been chosen as the first batch of visa issuing spots.

The implementation of the measures means that the exit-entry administration divisions of Yinzhou District and Beilun District have the same rights with the municipal exit-entry administration in accepting and issuing visa documents. The two spots can accept and issue the visa documents for the foreigners working in or visiting the areas within their administration, including the extension, renewal and reissue of the ordinary visas for foreigners, the issue, extension, renewal and reissue of the residence certificates for foreigners, and the issue, renewal and reissue of the visiting certificate for foreigners.
