Release time:Jun 17, 2024 16:09 PM

Today, the reporter learned from the Shanghai Airport Border Inspection Station that yesterday, the single-day international passenger flow at Pudong Airport exceeded 100,000, reaching 103,213, setting a single-day passenger flow record in the past four years. As of yesterday, the number of people entering and leaving Pudong Airport this year has exceeded 13 million, four months earlier than last year, of which mainland residents, foreigners, and people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan reached 8.91 million, 3.15 million, and 940,000, respectively.

"The visa-free policy makes travel easier and more convenient." HAIDLANTONLUTZ, a German passenger who entered China yesterday, praised the visa-free policy. No visa is required, which is very friendly to foreign passengers who come to China temporarily for business exchanges and sightseeing. Data shows that the Shanghai Airport Border Inspection Station has checked more than 3 million inbound and outbound foreign passengers this year, which is two times more than the same period last year. These foreign passengers are mainly for tourism, business, and visiting relatives, among which the number of passengers from the United States, Japan, and South Korea ranks in the top three.

With the adjustment of the national visa-free policy, the number of foreigners entering China without a visa has increased significantly to 446,000 this year, about 10 times that of the same period last year, and it has shown a rapid upward trend, becoming a highlight of this year's inbound and outbound passenger flow. Among them, more than 70% of the visa-free people came to China for tourism or business, which fully shows that the visa-free policy has greatly promoted the enthusiasm of foreigners to come to China and enhanced the confidence of the international community in investing in China.

According to statistics, since the beginning of this year, the Shanghai Airport Border Inspection Station has provided more than 640,000 short-term foreigners visiting China with the convenience of "24-hour direct transit without border inspection procedures", further enhancing Pudong Airport's global shipping hub function.

As China's visa-free "circle of friends" continues to expand, the convenience of Chinese citizens going abroad has also been greatly improved. "With the visa-free policy, I can go whenever I want," said Ms. Xu, who was traveling to Thailand. Since the beginning of this year, more than 4.54 million mainland residents, like Ms. Xu, have left the country through the Pudong Airport port, with the majority of their destinations being neighboring countries and regions, and more than 3.29 million people have traveled to Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Macao.

In response to the continued increase in inbound and outbound passenger flow, Shanghai Airport Border Inspection has continued to "subtract" from the customs clearance process, launching a "fill in on-board, report online" mode for filling in foreign entry registration cards, guiding passengers to fill in during flight time and report their personal information online with the help of electronic terminals. At the same time, it has "added" to customs clearance guarantees, accurately superimposed police forces based on dynamic passenger flow forecasts, effectively improved customs clearance efficiency during peak passenger flow, worked hard to solve the problems of card points and bottlenecks in the passenger clearance process, and actively provided customs clearance convenience for inbound and outbound passengers.
