Chinese Visa will adopt a new policy in September. The Consulate General in San Francisco will hold a briefing. On the afternoon of August 29, the Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco held a briefing on the "Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Entry and Exit Management of Foreigners" to introduce the latest entry and exit regulations that will be implemented on September 1, as well as the new visa application form, to representatives of overseas Chinese groups, tourism operators, and media reporters in the Bay Area. The new regulations will make it easier for overseas Chinese to travel between China and their country of residence. Bi Gang, Deputy Consul General of China in San Francisco, introduced the key points of this visa adjustment: ordinary visas for foreigners have been adjusted from the original 8 categories to 12 categories, and the current F visas and L visas will be split, and the R visa issued to foreign high-level talents and China's urgently needed specialized talents will be added. For the San Francisco area, the most concerned thing among the Chinese community is the newly established Q visa. This visa is mainly issued to overseas Chinese and their family members who apply to enter the country to visit relatives. The validity period and stay period range from 180 days to 5 years, which provides convenience for their family visits and reunions. With the further expansion of international exchanges, the number of entries and exits from China reached 430 million in 2012. The new visa management regulations will make it faster and more convenient for more people to travel between China and the United States to visit relatives, communicate, do business, and travel.
