According to statistics,

Times, respectively, increased by 18.31% and 7.7% respectively, and the entry and exit of Chinese and foreign personnel continued to maintain strong growth momentum. In order to continuously meet the new requirements of entry-exit personnel to enjoy better, convenient, efficient and high-quality service management in the fields of application documents, customs clearance, entry-exit, tourism, commerce, investment and entrepreneurship, residence and travel, the State Immigration Administration has simplified procedures by speeding up the construction of the Internet, realizing full coverage of online service certificates, etc. Optimizing the process, lightening the burden of certification, utilizing scientific and technological informationization means, improving customs clearance efficiency, promoting the standardization of windows, improving the management of foreigners, innovating supervision methods and other six aspects of the formulation and promulgation of the "Opinions", put forward 22 specific measures related to the reform of detention uniforms. These 22 measures have the following characteristics: first, insist on changing functions, simplifying government and decentralizing power, and add vitality to economic construction. Two is to adhere to the people-oriented, reform and innovation, improve the broad masses of the people's sense of acquisition and happiness. The three is to persist in the internal and external pressure of the blade, and vigorously improve the quality of service efficiency. Four, we must persist in promoting and improving the supervision and management mode, and strive to improve the level of management capability. According to the briefing, the five convenience measures implemented on September 1 include: Mainland residents can apply for replacement (replacement) and issue entry certificates nationwide; Mainland residents can apply for travel signatures of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan groups nationwide; and the time limit for issuing entry and exit certificates for Mainland residents has been reduced to 7%. For those foreigners who have emergency needs, the procedure of online declaration and frontier inspection for international navigation vessels shall be implemented within 2 working days.
one is that mainland residents can apply for replacement in different places across the country. The applicant may apply for a replacement (replacement) of an ordinary passport, a Hong Kong and Macau pass, and a Taiwan pass at any of the public security entry and exit authorities throughout the country. The application procedures are in accordance with the place of residence. In recent years, with the rapid economic and social development and the continuous increase of domestic population flow, the Ministry of Public Security has issued a series of convenience measures for handling entry and exit documents in different places, which provide convenience for mainland residents. However, limited to the conditions at that time, the inland residents have to submit residence, work, study, kinship certificates and other materials to apply for cross-province entry and exit certificates, with higher threshold, more links and more complicated procedures. In order to further facilitate the Mainland residents to handle entry and exit documents in different places, so that more provincial applicants do not have to change (fill) the issuance of entry documents and return home to run back and forth, the State Immigration Administration further intensified information construction, to achieve the issuance of documents in different places to create conditions. After the implementation of the new policy, applicants may apply for a general passport, a Hong Kong and Macao pass and a Taiwan pass in different places in accordance with the same entry and exit certificate requirements as the place of residence. It is estimated that about 2.7 million residents enjoy the convenience of replacing their certificates in different places and the annual expenditure can be saved by about 3 billion yuan in the round-trip transportation alone. The second is that mainland (mainland) residents can sign up for group tours between Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in different places throughout the country. Applicants with valid Hong Kong and Macao passes and Taiwan passes can apply for a tour endorsement by a group of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan-bound public security agencies nationwide. The application procedures are in accordance with the place of residence. According to the National Immigration Administration, as the mainland (the mainland) and the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions have increasingly frequent personnel exchanges and economic and cultural exchanges, the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan region has become the main destination for residents to travel abroad, with 46.17 million outbound tours to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in 2017. Team tourism has always been one of the main ways for residents to travel to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, accounting for more than one third of the total number of residents to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. In recent years, the entry-exit administration departments of public security have continuously optimized and improved their management policies. At present, residents can apply for travel endorsement by teams of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan from any public security entry-exit administration agency in the provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government) where they are registered. With the increasing frequency of cross-provincial population mobility, the current restrictions on inter-provincial travel between Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan can not meet the practical needs of cross-provincial (district, city) population movement in the near application for inter-provincial travel between Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan team travel endorsement. Following the implementation of the new policy, mainland residents can apply for travel endorsement by teams from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in accordance with the same entry and exit certificate requirements as the place of residence in any public security entry and exit administration organization nationwide, and realize the goal of going to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan as soon as possible. It is estimated that about 7.8 million residents enjoy the convenience of traveling to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in different places every year. The annual expenditure of the masses can be saved by only one item of transportation costs.
three is the time limit for mainland residents to issue certificates of entry and exit documents to 7 working days. The time limit for mainland (mainland) residents to apply for ordinary passports, Hong Kong and Macao passes and Taiwan passes at their place of residence has been shortened to seven working days. The State Immigration Administration interprets this as stipulated in the Passport Law of the People's Republic of China, the Provisional Administrative Measures for Chinese Citizens to and fro Hong Kong or Macao for Private Affairs, and the Administrative Measures for Chinese Citizens to and fro Taiwan, which stipulate that the entry-exit administrative organs of the public security shall examine and issue ordinary passports, and the entry-exit administrative organs shall approve and issue ordinary passports to and fro Hong Kong. The time limit for Australia pass and Taiwan pass is 15, 60 and 30 days respectively. In order to meet the growing demand of the masses for going abroad, the Ministry of Public Security has issued relevant regulations to shorten the time limit for obtaining certificates in the past stage. On this basis, the State Immigration Administration further simplifies procedures, optimizes the examination and approval process, and uses information technology to speed up the examination and approval of certificates. It has decided to shorten the time limit for the examination and issuance of ordinary passports, Hong Kong and Macao passes and Taiwan passes by mainland residents at their places of residence to seven working days. It is convenient for the masses to travel.
Four provides convenience for expatriates with emergency needs. Public security entry-exit administration organs provide immediate examination and approval facilities for foreigners in the following three situations: for those foreigners who have lost their passports and are in urgent need of a new visa to leave the country, the examination and approval shall be made on the basis of the explanatory letters provided by the inviting units, the tickets for the machines (cars and ships) on which the dates and seats have been determined; and the foreign seafarers and their accompanying families. If a person urgently needs to apply for a residence certificate to leave the port city for trans-departure, he or she shall be examined and approved on the strength of a letter of guarantee from the shipping agency and a ticket for a plane (car or ship) with a fixed date and seat; if a member of a foreign tourist group urgently needs to apply for a group visa to leave the country, he or she shall be submitted a letter of explanation of the reasons provided by the reception Travel agency, and a confirmed date and seat. The machine (vehicle, ship) ticket is immediately accepted for examination and approval. The State Immigration Administration has indicated that the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Aliens'Entry and Exit stipulate that when an alien applies for visa extension, renewal (replacement) and issuance of residence certificates, the entry and exit administration organ of the public security shall accept and issue them within seven working days. Aliens living and working in China, the above-mentioned loss of passport urgently need to apply for a visa to leave the country and so on, if issued the corresponding visa and residence permit within the prescribed time limit, it may affect the applicant's itinerary. For this reason, the State Immigration Administration has decided to provide the aliens with the above-mentioned special circumstances with immediate acceptance of applications for examination and approval of visas and residence permits, and to make timely decisions on approval or disapproval. After the implementation of the new deal, it has been estimated that nearly 30 thousand overseas passengers can enjoy emergency facilities every year.
five is the implementation of online inspection procedures for international navigation vessels. The person-in-charge of the entry-exit ship or the agent of the Exit-Entry business shall declare the information of the entry-exit ship and the crew through the public security entry-exit Internet service platform or the single window of international trade, and no longer submit the paper declaration documents. The State Immigration Administration pointed out that with the continuous expansion of China's opening up to the outside world, the number of inbound and outbound ships increased steadily, reaching 466,000 in 2017, an 11-fold increase over 1978. For a long time, foreign trade and shipping enterprises have to submit paper documents to the joint inspection units of frontier inspection, customs, maritime and other ports when declaring the entry and exit formalities of international navigation vessels, and the staff have to shuttle between the joint inspection units many times, which is time-consuming and labor-consuming. After speeding up the pace of construction, the public security entry-exit Internet service platform and the single window of international trade have already possessed the functions of online declaration and frontier inspection of international navigation vessels. After the implementation of the new policy, foreign trade and shipping enterprises can declare entry-exit ships, crew and other information to the port frontier inspection authorities through the public security entry-exit online service platform or a single window of international trade. Without submitting paper documents such as the General Declaration Form, the Crew List and the Passenger List, the ships can be produced upon arrival at the port. It can save more than 200,000 hours per year for entry-exit ships to go through frontier inspection procedures, shorten the arrival and departure time of ships, save a lot of costs and expenses, further promote trade facilitation, and improve the efficiency of customs clearance at ports and enterprise benefits.
