重點問題：中方正在逐步有序放開復工復產和其他各類必要來華人員的簽證。需要說明的是，對這些人員中持有效簽證或居留許可需要重新辦理簽證的，中國駐外使領館一律免費辦理。

China is relaxing in an orderly and gradual manner visa restrictions for foreigners entering China to resume economic activities and for other essential purposes. One more point to highlight is that for those who hold valid visa or residence permit but need visa renewal, Chinese embassies and consulates will provide them visa service for fre.

2020年8月10日，外交部發言人趙立堅主持例行記者會現場。

《人民日報》記者：一個有關人員往來的問題。中方此前已表示會采取必要措施，保障從事必要經貿、科技等活動的外國人員來華。請問中方采取了哪些舉措為確有需要來華的外國人申辦簽證提供便利？

People's Daily: China said it will take necessary measures to facilitate foreign nationals' entry to China for essential economic, trade, scientific and technological activities. What steps has China specifically taken in terms of visa issuance?

趙立堅：中國政府自3月28日起暫時停止絕大部分外國人持當時有效來華簽證和居留許可入境，但同時對來華從事必要經貿、科技等活動，以及出于緊急人道主義需要的外國人積極提供簽證便利。近來，隨著多國疫情得到控制，人員交往需求增加。為此，中方正在逐步有序放開復工復產和其他各類必要來華人員的簽證。需要說明的是，對這些人員中持有效簽證或居留許可需要重新辦理簽證的，中國駐外使領館一律免費辦理。

Zhao Lijian: The Chinese government has suspended entry for most foreigners holding valid visa or residence permit starting from March 28, but at the same time we've facilitated visa applications of foreign nationals seeking entry for essential economic, trade, scientific and technological activities or out of emergency humanitarian needs. Recently, as the situation has been brought under control in many countries, people are looking forward to making foreign trips. Thus, China is relaxing in an orderly and gradual manner visa restrictions for foreigners entering China to resume economic activities and for other essential purposes. One more point to highlight is that for those who hold valid visa or residence permit but need visa renewal, Chinese embassies and consulates will provide them visa service for free.
