Shanghai Simplifies Port Visa Application Process.
The port visa service in Shanghai has recently improved its process, making it easier for travelers to apply for visas. The changes include a reduction in the required documents and allowing Chinese group travel agencies to submit applications on behalf of travelers.
These reforms have already yielded positive results in the first half of this year. According to Wang Sheng, an official from the port visa section of the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, approximately 43,000 group tourist visas were issued. This marks an increase of nearly 20 percent compared to the second half of last year.
