Immigration help: use NIA 12367 for official questions

A live official route beats a static immigration guide.

Shanghai’s municipal portal describes China Immigration Service Hotline 12367 as an integrated channel for immigration-administration inquiries and suggestions. It reports multilingual phone support and Chinese-and-English online consultation through the NIA 12367 app or official mini-program. Use it for current immigration procedure questions.

A clear next step

  1. Use 12367 for the immigration-administration question you actually have.
  2. Follow the official prompts to select a supported language.
  3. For online consultation, use the current NIA 12367 app or official WeChat/Alipay mini-program.
