《全球华语广播网》美国观察员余浩：近期中国对美签证政策变化主要有两方面。一方面，外国访客去中国申请签证，要求出具邀请函或者机票、酒店的预订单。另一方面，中国公民的外籍配偶、子女及其所持护照的出生地为中国，包含台湾、香港、澳门地区的美籍华人及其配偶子女只要提供中国境内亲属出具的邀请函及亲属身份证的复印件以及结婚证书、出生证明等配偶子女关系的证明文件，即可申办长期有效、多次进入中国的商务和访问签证。

[The global Chinese radio network]The United States observer YuHao:China's recent beauty to visa policy changes mainly has two aspects.On the one hand,Foreign visitors go to China to apply for the visa,Require a invitation letter or ticket/Hotel reservation list.On the other hand,Chinese citizens foreign spouse/Children and the birthplace of the passport for China,Include Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macao's Chinese americans and their spouses and children if they provide China issued by relatives of the invitation letter and family id and marriage certificate/A birth certificate, such as relationship between spouses and children of documents of proof,Can bid for long-term effective/Many times to enter the Chinese business and visit visa.

　　对于这两项政策的变化，前面一项即申请中国签证必须出具邀请函或者机票和酒店的订单以及被外界广为关注，包括美国主流媒体都有报道，但对于后面一项美籍华人可以获得更长期有效的签证的新举措目前还没有引起足够的关注。

For these two policy changes,A front that apply for the visa must issue invitation letter or ticket and hotel order and the outside world attention widely,Including the United States, the mainstream media have reported,But for behind a Chinese American can obtain more long-term effective visa new measures at present has not received enough attention.

　　美籍华人能获得更长期有效的签证，对于他们来说是好事。目前中美双方的协议是相互给予对方公民一年多次往返有效的商务和旅游签证，但是中方在实际执行的过程中已经普遍给予美籍华人及其直系亲属两年多次往返签证。此次实施新的政策，意味着相关人士只要提供有关的证件证明，即可申请比两年更长的签证，具体情况使领馆的签证官将根据实际需要来考虑。

Chinese American can obtain more long-term valid visa,For them is a good thing.At present the agreement of the parties is mutual to give each other a year many citizens and effective business and tourist visa,But the Chinese side in the actual execution process has been generally give Chinese americans and their immediate family members two years back and forth many times visa.The implementation of the new policy,Means that the relevant personage as long as provide relevant documents prove,Can apply for more than two years long visa,Specific conditions of embassies and consulates visa officer will according to the actual need to consider.

　　要求美籍华人回国探亲申请签证出具邀请函也是新的政策，以往美籍华人通常到了使领馆就签证，现在被要求出具邀请函感到有些不方便，对此中国驻美使馆总领事陈雄风指出，让自己在国内的亲朋好友出具一个邀请函并非难事，而且在提供相关的证明后，还可能获得比以往的两年更长的有效期的签证。

For Chinese americans visit to apply for the visa issue invitation letter is also the new policy,Previous Chinese American usually to embassies and consulates is visa,Is now require a invitation feel some inconvenience,To the Chinese embassy in the consul general Chen pointed out that sex,Let the oneself is in the domestic relatives and friends issue an invitation letter is not a very difficult task,And in providing related certificate,May also gain than the previous two years longer valid visa.

　　为什么要这样调整？要分两方面来讲。一方面，邀请函制度是世界各国的通行做法，中方规定适用于所有的国家，并非专门针对美方的申请人，其实出具邀请函的要求并非今天才有，此次中国驻美使领馆是按照统一的部署规范办事程序和要求。有关专家分析，这与中国最近清理外国人在中国非法入境、非法拘留、非法工作的“三非”有一定的关系。

Why it should be adjusted?To two points in terms.On the one hand,Invitation letter system is a common practice in the countries all over the world,The Chinese provisions shall apply to all countries,The United States is not specific to the applicant,In fact of the invitation issued by request is not only today,The Chinese embassy in American embassies and consulates is according to unified deployment of standard procedures and requirements.Concerned expert analysis,This and China recently cleaning foreigners in China illegal immigration/Illegal detention/Work illegally"Three not"There is a certain relationship.

　　另一方面，给予美籍华人及其直系亲属更长有效期的签证是为了便利中美人员往来，促进中美民间交流，预计今后双方人员的往来会越来越多。最近美国国会有议员提出，美中应该相互给予对方公民五年有效的签证议案，中美相互给予对方公民更长时间有效期的签证，从中方来说是没有任何障碍。

On the other hand,Give Chinese American and its directly-related members of the validity of the longer the visa is in order to convenient personnel exchanges between China and the United States,Promote the communication between China and the United States folk,In the future is expected to the personnel exchanges will be more and more.Recently the United States congress have lawmakers,The us-china should be mutual give each other citizens valid for five years visa bill,China and the United States give each other each other citizens longer valid visa,It is from the Chinese side without any barriers.
