Ms. Jin was arrested and fined 2,000 yuan upon entering China. What happened?
Recently, Ms. Jin obtained a new passport, but her Chinese tourist visa remained on the old one. To save trouble, she took off the visa from the old passport and stuck it on the new one, not realizing that she had violated Chinese law!
In China, the passport is an important document for entry and exit, and it cannot be altered, erased, or spliced. With an altered passport, Ms. Jin was spotted by border officials. Not only was she fined 2,000 yuan, but her Chinese visa was also canceled, and she was ultimately denied entry.
Therefore, all foreigners, please remember: never tamper with your passport! Whether it's altering, erasing, or splicing, it's not allowed. Before departure, remember to check if the visa is still valid and if the number of entries allowed on the visa is sufficient. If the visa has expired or the number of entries has been used up, remember to reapply!
