疫情防控期间常见问题(三)——出入境相关问题

问题1：疫情防控期间外国人是否可以正常出入境？

Question:Are foreigners allowed to entry or exit as usual during the period of epidemic prevention and control?

答：疫情发生后，中国政府采取了一系列的有力应对措施。习近平总书记指出，我们完全有信心、有能力打赢这场疫情防控阻止战。目前，除武汉口岸关闭离汉通道外，我国口岸签证机关仍正常运转，外国人过境免签政策未作调整，各陆、海、空口岸继续对外开放运转，外国人可凭有效的出境入境证件正常出入境。

Answer: The Chinese government has taken a series of strong measures since the outbreak of pneumonia caused by novel coronavirus. As President Xi Jinping stated, China has full confidence and capability to win the battle against the novel coronavirus outbreak. At present, except for the lockdown of the exit channel of Wuhan ports, all port visa agencies are operating as usual. Visa-free transit policy for foreigners are still effective. All land, sea and air ports of China are functioning. Foreigners can enter or exit as usual with their valid international travel documents.

目前情况下减少人员跨境流动有助于有效防控疫情。外国人可根据实际合理安排来华行程，外国人可继续在华停留居留。对于确需出境的外国人，鉴于部分国家和地区已针对疫情实施相应的入境管制措施，建议提前了解清楚目的地国家或地区对人员入境的规定和做法，避免因无法入境造成费用和时间损失；前往国家、地区允许入境的，应当提前到达出境口岸，留出足够时间接受相关部门检查；已经出现发热并伴有咳嗽、呼吸困难等急性呼吸道感染症状的，不应进行国际旅行，应当立即就近接受诊治，并如实向有关管理人员说明近期活动和密切接触人员等情况，以便有关部门迅速采取排查措施。

At present, it is helpful to the epidemic prevention and control by reducing cross  border movements. Foreigners could make reasonable travel arrangements to China  and stay or reside in China as usual. Due to entry restrictions adopted by some countries and regions, it is advised that foreigners who need to exit from  China, should learn in advance entry requirements of destination countries or regions to avoid financial and time losses in case of any entry refusals. Those who travel to countries or regions without entry restrictions, are advised to arrive at exit ports well ahead of departure time for necessary checks. Foreigners having fever with symptoms of acute respiratory infection such as cough or breathing difficulties, should avoid international travels and seek immediate medical treatment at the nearest hospitals. Information such as  recent activities as well as close contacts should be provided to relevant authorities for any necessary control measures.

问题2：目前湖北武汉口岸是否能够正常出入境？

Question: Are travelers allowed to exit and enter through ports of Wuhan?

答：目前，各国人员可以从湖北武汉地区的对外开放口岸（即武汉天河机场、汉口港）正常入境。因离汉出境通道已关闭，未经批准不安排人员通行。

        Answer: International travelers can enter China through ports of Wuhan (referring to Wuhan Tianhe International Airport and Hankou ferry terminal ). Due to the lockdown of the exit channels of Wuhan ports, exits through any ports of Wuhan can only be permitted with approval.
