China's demand for overseas travel has soared! Shanghai February Philippine visa quota has been reserved!

After three years of silence, China's outbound tour group business finally ushered in the dawn. With the restart of group tours, the demand for outbound tourism of local people has grown rapidly, the business volume of entry-exit administrative departments in many places in China has increased significantly, and passport applications have reached a peak. Among them, the number of applicants for Shanghai passports has reached a record high, and there are also long queues of people applying for visas in various embassies.

The Daily Business News reported that recently, photos of long queues of applicants appeared at the Philippine Embassy in Beijing, the U.S. Embassy in China and other places, while in some U.S. visa centers in some areas, face-to-face appointments have been scheduled until the end of July. Shanghai's French visa face-to-face reservations are scheduled until March.

As of July 31, both the US visa processing points in Shanghai and Guangzhou showed that there were no vacant places, and reservations could not be made temporarily in August and September.

The report pointed out that in addition to the United States, France, Spain, and Italy are all popular visa application countries. Judging from the reservations in February and March, these countries are not many. Among Southeast Asian countries, Philippine visas are also in short supply. Shanghai has already reserved all the places for February.

According to the news released by Shanghai on Friday, since the orderly resumption of entry and exit documents processing for one month, the enthusiasm of citizens to apply for certificates has been high. The accumulated demand for replacement and replacement of certificates in the past three years has been superimposed on the peak of application before and after the Spring Festival holiday, and the processing of entry and exit documents in Shanghai has exploded. From January 9 to February 8, the Shanghai Public Security Exit-Entry Administration Department accepted more than 380000 entry-exit documents for Chinese citizens, a record high.

In Dalian, there are also long lines in front of self-service filling machines and self-service cameras for passport processing. At present, the Dalian Exit-Entry Administration Bureau has opened all acceptance windows to meet the needs of applicants to the greatest extent.
