How do I apply for a passport? If I go to two countries, do I need to get two passports?

The subject is obviously confusing passports and visas.

Passport should be handled at the exit and entry hall of the place of household registration with your own documents.

The visa is to apply for a visa for which country to go to, and you need to apply for two visas to go to two countries, but if you are going to a developed country in Europe, you can apply for a Schengen visa.

Hello, for sure,,, you go to any country, you can apply for a passport of that country.

A passport can travel to multiple countries, and a passport is something like an ID card, and each person can only have one copy (in this case, Chinese citizens).

To go abroad, you need a passport, but you must first obtain an entry permit for the country you want to visit, that is, a visa, which allows you to enter their country for what period and for how long. To apply for a visa, you must apply for a visa with your passport to the consulate of the country you are going to.

Some countries have agreements with China that they do not require a visa, and they can enter and stay there for a certain period of time with their passports. The visa applied for is generally a permit affixed to the passport (there is also a piece of paper that is not affixed to the passport), and each country you want to go to must apply for a visa for those countries.

A visa is a permit for you to get your passport and go to the consulate of a foreign country in China to apply for entry and stay in that country. Usually temporal, frequent. For example, a tourist visa for a country allows you to enter their country from February 20 to August 19 during these 6 months, but you are only allowed to enter once and stay for no more than 60 days.

A new passport is not something you can go to anywhere. If you have a passport, except for visa-free countries, you need to go through the signature of the relevant country before you can go.

A passport is proof of the holder's nationality and identity, while a visa is a certificate of permission for a sovereign state to allow foreign citizens or its own citizens to enter or exit or pass through the country.

Visas are generally endorsed on the passport, some are endorsed on other travel documents in lieu of the passport, and some are issued with a separate visa. For example, the immigration visa of the United States and Canada is an A4 large paper, and Singapore also issues a separate paper visa for foreigners, and the visa must generally be used at the same time as the passport to be effective.

So far, the People's Republic of China has reached agreements on mutual visa exemption with the following countries. Chinese nationals holding relevant passports are usually not required to apply for a visa in advance for short-term travel to the countries concerned.

1. There are 8 unilateral visa-free visas for Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports

North America: Haiti, Jamaica, Dominica, U.S. Federation of the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan).

2. There are 4 countries (regions) that exempt ordinary passport visas with China

One passport can travel to multiple countries, and each person can only hold one passport. If you want to leave China and go to another country, you must get a visa for that country, that is, go to the embassy of that country in China to apply for a visa.

The types of passports issued vary from country to country. China's passports are divided into diplomatic, official and ordinary passports, which are further divided into official ordinary passports and private ordinary passports.
