A new Arrival& Departure Card designed by the Ministry of Public Security of China for foreign passengers is going to be used at all Point of Entries in China as of October 2007.

The new card consists of two adjacent parts. One is for arrival and the other is for departure. A foreign passenger is obliged to fill in the arrival card. The departure card will be kept by the passenger for his/her departure from China.

There is "Important Notice" printed at the back of the new Arrival& Departure Card which gives brief instructions on matters related to the registration, travel, residence and employment of a foreign national during his/her stay in China.
