Is there any problem of arbitrary charges for handling Hong Kong and Macao Pass? Xinhua News Agency exposed the unreasonable charges of visa center, can it put its charge management on the right track?

Xinhua News Agency has exposed the unreasonable fees charged by visa centers, but if we want to put their fee management on the right track, we may not be able to completely solve the problem through this exposure. For example, the parking charges that have been exposed before, in fact, have been exposed more than once in many cities, but now I can still see such charges when I walk on many streets.

Therefore, the Xinhua News Agency's exposure of the visa center's arbitrary charges may make them stop in a short time, but it may not be a simple exposure to solve the problem. Because of an exposure, I believe they will not dare to charge fees in a short time, and after the exposure, the relevant departments will also rectify the visa center in a short time.

However, if such an exposure effect time passes, the management of the visa center by the relevant departments may return to the previous state, or the situation of unreasonable charges in the visa center may gradually return to the previous state after a period of time. So it can't achieve a long-term goal.

In order to make the charge management of the visa center completely on the right track, in addition to strengthening the management of the visa center by the relevant departments, this management should also be long-term. In addition, users applying for visas need to play a supervisory role. If you encounter unreasonable charges, you should report them in time so that the relevant departments can better understand the situation of the visa center.

In addition, the visa center should be self-aware. It is an institution that serves the people, but it brings a lot of inconvenience to the people. Therefore, the visa center should have a good sense of self and deal with those employees or leaders who make mistakes in time. Therefore, in order to make the charge management of visa centers on the right track, in addition to the exposure of Xinhua News Agency, these conditions should be added to achieve the purpose of simple initial procedures and fast application efficiency.

The visa center was exposed to arbitrary charges. Why is there a lack of strong supervision from relevant departments?

If it is not the exposure of the visa center, or if some users have experienced this situation personally, it is estimated that many people can't believe this phenomenon is true. Because in many people's cognition, the visa center is a government agency and should be handled in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of our country, but I didn't expect that there would be arbitrary charges in this relatively tall place.

Then at this time, everyone will think that the visa center can collect fees at random. So why is there a lack of strong supervision by some relevant departments for such a place? After all, this also represents the facade of a country. For this unreasonable charge, if you are facing foreign users, isn't it equivalent to discrediting the government?

Moreover, the visa advocated by the state has always been to simplify the procedures and improve the service rate, but now many visa centers have gone far from this track. Not only do we look for various reasons to ask users for money, but at the same time, some expenses have even doubled. In fact, to a certain extent, this is mainly due to the poor supervision of relevant departments.

In fact, this is mainly because the visa center is a complex institution, because it faces not only the government, but also the consulates of various countries. Therefore, there are many departments involved, and sometimes mistakes will occur in some links, leading to poor supervision. Because it is not clearly defined which department the visa center is supervised by, it is sometimes not particularly convenient to manage.

Another reason is that the visa center has not received the attention of the higher authorities. Generally speaking, the visa center does not involve too important things, but only provides convenience for users who need to go through exit procedures, resulting in lack of supervision. In order to put an end to this kind of arbitrary charges, it is not enough to rely solely on the relevant departments for governance. We also need ordinary people to report and supervise in time to effectively stop it.

The visa center was exposed to arbitrary charges. Why is the visa center so dark?

Recently, many people have seen the news that the visa center has been exposed to arbitrary charges. From some exposed charging standards, it can be seen that the arbitrary charges in the visa center are simply too "black". Even a reminder message will be charged, 20 yuan. You know, for our ordinary message, the reminder message sent by the bank, for example, is only 1 cent. So what caused the visa center to be so "black"?

1, poor supervision by government departments.

Those who know something about the visa center should know that the visa center does not clearly indicate which department it belongs to. Moreover, the visa center will also involve consulates of various countries, so there is no clear supervision department. Of course, due to the complex location, many departments will not be too convenient to manage, resulting in lax management.

2. The direction of interests.

In the case of lax management, the visa center is of course unique. Especially now, visas are very popular. Every day, many people queue up for exit visas, and there are some emergencies. So it's easier to apply for a visa if you have more money. Therefore, driven by such interests, the visa center will not only have some other arbitrary charges, but also raise the normal charging standard by four to five times.

3. The connivance of users.

The reason why the visa center is so "black" now is largely due to the connivance of users. Because many people think that if you can spend hundreds of dollars to solve the problem and make the visa easier, why not? The so-called spending money to buy convenience. It is with the connivance of these people that the visa center has become more and more "black" because it has tasted the sweetness.

Therefore, in order to prohibit all kinds of arbitrary charges, in addition to strengthening the management department, we should also have a correct sense of self-protection for users to buy. For those unreasonable charges, we should be brave enough to report them, rather than blindly accommodating them, otherwise it will only hurt our own interests in the end.

How difficult is it to apply for a visa when the visa center is exposed to arbitrary charges?

In addition to the unreasonable fees charged by the visa center, it is more and more complicated and difficult to apply for a visa than before. For those who have never applied for a visa, it may be impossible to understand how difficult it is to successfully apply for a visa now. It is not an exaggeration to say that it experienced "81 difficulties".

According to the regulations of the national government, the main purpose of visa application is to simplify procedures and improve work efficiency. However, many visa centers have violated this regulation, which can be said to be complicated procedures and reduced work efficiency.

When you apply for a visa, you must first prepare all kinds of procedures. As long as there is an incomplete program, you will not succeed, even if it has nothing to do with the program you lack. But if you pay more at the visa center, the situation may be different. This is also an important point of unreasonable charges in visa centers, which makes visa applications more and more difficult.

The second is long queues. Because there are more and more people applying for exit visas now, everyone's living standards have improved, and they all want to travel abroad, many of them are working abroad. Especially on holidays, there will be long queues at the visa office. Although the large number of people is one factor, low work efficiency has also become another factor in queuing.

Staff can still ramble during working hours, and some even play mobile phones to answer the phone and so on. No matter how long the queue is outside, the staff are always in no hurry, and such a vicious circle leads to a longer and longer queue. Another situation is to make things difficult for users to pay fees. When they see that the queue is getting longer and longer, other staff members will ask users to pay more and can handle it simply. Therefore, many people will pay hundreds of dollars more to get visas as soon as possible. But in this case, it is more and more difficult for ordinary and normal users to apply for visas.

How to prohibit relevant institutions from charging fees for private visas?

Today, the website of the National Development and Reform Commission released the Notice on Cancelling the Government Pricing of Private Visa Services for China Citizens. The circular pointed out that China citizens' private visa service agencies should strictly implement the system of clearly marked prices, and should not only charge for no service, nor charge any unspecified fees beyond the price.

According to the report, the circular requires the Ministry of Public Security to strengthen the supervision of China citizens' private visa service agencies, establish and improve service standards and norms, improve the industry access and exit mechanism, create an open and fair market environment, and guide the healthy development of the industry.

The notice pointed out that China citizens' private visa service institutions should abide by the laws and regulations such as the price law, operate legally, and provide services with qualified quality and reasonable price; Strictly implement the price tag system, and publicize all service items, charging standards and complaint telephone numbers in a prominent position in the business premises; Don't just charge for no service, and don't charge any unmarked fees beyond the list price.

I hope the notice can be implemented as soon as possible!

Is there any problem of arbitrary charges for handling Hong Kong and Macao Pass?

Although I understand: 1. First of all, non-Hong Kong and Macao free travel cities can only apply for group tourist visas. Only through the travel agency-the travel agency is equivalent to your guarantor. If someone doesn't come back, the travel agency will bear certain risks and penalties. Therefore, they will give you an invoice from the travel agency, and residents of non-Hong Kong and Macao free travel cities will be handled by the Exit-Entry Administration Office. Travel agencies may have charged a certain fee and invoice tax in this regard. When you apply for a team visa, you must enter and leave the country according to the list of travel agencies, and this list must be declared to the customs one day in advance. Without a list, you can't go through the customs. You must go through the customs in the order of the list.

Secondly, the procedure of applying for a visa for the first time is basically the same as that of signing it later.

As for the charges, every place is different. The smaller the place, the higher the charge. It is understood that it needs to go through layers of examination and approval, and it needs the same handling fee and postage. I also met people who spent more than 600 yuan on the first signing. ..
