上海推出入境管理便民措施，惠及外籍人士和学生

The Shanghai Exit-Entry Bureau has handled more than 2.28 million passport renewals and applications for Chinese citizens over the first five months of this year, and over 14% increase compared to the same time in 2019. The bureau said today that paper work will be streamlined【精简】for expats【旅居国外者】working and living in the city, and that one branch will remain open longer on three days to help Chinese families get passports for their kids. Zhang Yue tells us more.

今年前五个月，上海市公安局出入境管理局共受理护照换发与申请228万证次，较2019年同期增长超14%。该局今日（6月7日）表示，将简化在本市工作、生活的外籍人士办证材料，并将在一办证大厅开设三场办证夜间专场，便于一些家庭为孩子办理出入境证件。记者张乐带来详细报道。

In the past, expats holding a type B work permit were required to go to both the Shanghai Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs and the Exit-Entry Bureau to renew their residential and work permits. Now both can be done at five of its locations in Shanghai.

过去，持有B类工作许可的外籍人士需要分别前往上海市外国专家局和出入境管理局续签居留和工作许可。现在，在上海的五个办证大厅，这两项手续可单次完成办理。

“即日起，在浦东新区、自贸区临港新片区、虹桥国际中央商务区、长三角一体化示范区等4个重点发展区域，试点将"外国人工作、居留单一窗口"的政务服务覆盖范围由原先的持A类工作许可证的外籍人才扩大至B类。”

“Starting today, expats holding a type B work permit can go the bureau in Zhangjiang, Lingang, Waigaoqiao, Minhang and Qingpu to get two permits without visiting the Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs. The two permits will be issued at the same time within seven work days.”

Foreigners invited by Chinese companies for urgent business trips can apply for a business visa at whichever airport they land at in the city.

受中方企业邀请来华进行紧急商务出差的外国人可在抵达上海后于落地机场口岸申请商务签证。

Expat from Malaysia

来自马来西亚的外籍人士

“(I am here to) renew my visa, but today I come in to do the special quickly visa to go back to Malaysia because my father passed away last night. Now they are going to help me to get as soon as possible for my visa and my passport.”

“（我来这里）续签我的签证，今天我来办理特快签证回马来西亚，因为我父亲昨晚去世了。现在他们将帮助我尽快拿到签证和护照。”

“We need to extend our resident permit and for one year again. We will stay for two more years here for working. Shanghai is every time very nice to see and to live. We can visit a lot of places. So it's every time nice to be here.”

“我们需要将我们的居留许可再延长一年。我们将在这里继续工作两年。上海的风景和生活环境都特别好。有许多景点，每次来上海都很开心。”

The bureau said it had handled more than 30,000 visa applications every Saturday over the past four weeks. Among them, around 10,000 were for teenagers, ten times more than the average weekday number.

该局表示，过去的四个星期，每逢周六都会受理3万多份签证申请。其中，约1万份是为青少年申请的，是平日申请量的十倍。

As more parents plan overseas trips with their children this summer, the bureau on Minsheng Road in Pudong will remain open for extra three hours on June 9th, June 16th, and June 21st to serve families with children.

鉴于更多的父母计划于今夏带孩子出境游，民生路出入境管理局办证大厅将在6月9日、6月16日和6月21日将办公时间延长三小时，以便为有孩子的家庭提供服务。

The bureau is also working with the Shanghai Big Data Center and Shanghai Education Commission to share online information, so that it will be easier for officers to get access to the registration information of college students from other provinces on the mainland.

该局还与上海市大数据中心和上海市教委合作，信息共享，以方便工作人员查询在沪就读的外省市户籍大学生的学籍信息。

“办证时比对验证通过的，可免交加盖学校公章的纸质在读证明材料；因数据原因未能查询到学籍信息的，我们也会采取"容缺受理"的方式，先受理、后补交，避免学生多次往返跑。”

“Once we've cross-checked a university student’s registration information, he or she won’t need to hand in student certificates with the school’s official seal【图章】. We will still get the service done even if we haven't found the online information of some students, as they can hand them in later to save some time.”

The bureau added that from January to May, it had renewed more than 420,000 passports for Chinese citizens, up 6.8 times from the same period in 2019, and had issued 1.86 million passports.

该局补充说，从一月到五月，护照过期换发办理量逾42万证次，是2019年同期的6.8倍，护照签发量186万证次。
