How should do for those foreigners in China, whose visa has been automatically extended of 60 days according to the policy during the epidemic and is about to expire? Do foreigners have to leave China?

在中國境內的外籍人，按疫情期間政策簽證到期已經自動順延了60天，馬上要到期了，怎么辦？外籍人必須要離境嗎?

Don’t worry. Before the expiry, foreigners still can apply for the visa extension in the local Exit & Entry Administration Bureau if he meets the requirements of regulations. His visa extension period will be decided by the competent authority based on the visa type and personal actual situation.

Please note that due to the different epidemic prevention and control measures in different provinces of China now, the local exit and entry administrations may have different approvals for the visa extension. Therefore, we suggest you contact us in advance before the expiration in order for us to provide you with the best solution.

別著急，在到期前，外籍人還是可以向所住地出入境管理局提出延期申請，符合簽證延期條件的會按規定辦理延期。受理后，主管機構將會根據您的實際情況進行審批，延長您此次在華簽證的停留期間。

特別注意：由于各地的疫情防控措施不一樣，所以目前各地出入境管理局對簽證延期的審批有所不同，所以請您在簽證到期前提前與我們聯系，以便為您提供最佳解決方案。

At present, if foreigners leave China, could they come back again with multiple-entry visa?

目前，在中國境內的外籍人如果出境了，是否還能回來？

很遺憾的告訴您，如果現在離開中國，即使目前您持有有效簽證，短期內也是無法再入境的。

根據國家移民局3月26日的公告，自2020年3月28日0時起，暫時停止外國人持目前有效來華簽證和居留許可入境。至今，主管部門還沒有取消這項禁令。

Any idea when the restriction will be lifted for foreigners to back to China?

預計什么時間，可以允許外籍人入境呢？

According to the announcement issued on March 26, China will adjust the above measure and a separate announcement according to the epidemic situation.Though there is no new official information, as the epidemic in China is gradually getting better, relevant departments of China are leading efforts with some countries and regions to explore the establishment of a "fast track" for urgently needed personnel exchanges.

On May 10, the first batch of more than 200 South Korea technical personnel who applies to this "fast track" policy were flown to tianjin, China. 

According to other media reports, the Chinese government has discussed with the German Embassy in China and the German Chamber of Commerce the procedure of "fast track" for employees of German companies to return to China as soon as possible. It is estimated that about 200 core staff in Germany will fly to China by commercial charter plane on 25th of this month.

根據3月26日的公告，中方將根據疫情形勢調整上述措施并另行公告。

雖然目前還沒有新的官方消息。但隨著中國國內疫情逐漸好轉，目前，中方有關部門正在牽頭與部分國家和地區探索建立急需人員往來的“快捷通道”。 

5月10日，首批適用中韓“快捷通道”的200余名韓國急需赴華人員乘飛機前往中國天津。 

另有媒體報道，中國政府已和德國駐華使館及德國商會討論讓在華德企員工盡快返回中國的“快捷通道”程序，預計在本月25日即可有約200名在華德企核心員工乘商業包機前往中國。
