Qixia District has opened an international visa window at the doorstep to create a new highland for foreign talent services

On July 1, 2025, the Qixia District Government Service Center of Nanjing City underwent a significant upgrade - officially launching the foreigner visa service and activating the online appointment platform! This marks a crucial step forward for Qixia District in its journey to build a high-level open city and create an international talent highland. Jointly promoted by the District Data Bureau and the District Public Security Bureau, through in-depth integration of resources and scientific adjustment of window layout, Qixia District has provided foreign nationals with accessible "doorstep" visa services, significantly optimizing the foreign-related service environment.

Resource integration "one-window processing", convenient services "zero-distance"
In the past, foreigners in Qixia District had to travel to the city center to apply for visas and residence permits, which was time-consuming and laborious. To address this pain point, the District Data Bureau has made overall coordination and, on the basis of the original public security service Hall of the District Government Service Center, systematically integrated resources to newly establish the Public Security Entry and Exit Service Hall (Hall D), concentrating all related business at the entry and exit Windows of this hall. Nowadays, foreign applicants can handle various foreign-related entry and exit services such as work, study, family reunion and private affairs residence permits, as well as visa extension, renewal and reissuance in one stop here.
Linda, a student from Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications in Azerbaijan, needs to handle relevant visa procedures as she is about to go to Harbin for further studies. In the past, she had to spend several hours traveling to and from the municipal processing point. Now, it only takes her 10 minutes to walk to the Qixia District Government Service Center to complete the processing. From "running to multiple places" to "one-window processing", and from "queuing offline" to "making online appointments", Qixia District has truly achieved "data doing more of the running and people doing less legwork", allowing foreigners to truly feel the warmth and efficiency of Qixia's services.

Clear guidance makes it easy to get things done, and service upgrades show warmth.
To ensure smooth and efficient services, the district government service center has formulated detailed and clear guidelines for handling matters. Foreign applicants are required to bring their original passports, a 2-inch white-background ID photo taken within the last six months, the "Application Form for Foreigner's Visa and Document", and relevant proof documents (for details, please refer to the official platform) to the Exit-Entry Window of the Public Security Exit-Entry Service Hall (Hall D) at No. 118 Wenyuan Road Government Service Center for processing (consultation phone: 025-4001001001). At the same time, relying on the "My Nanjing" online appointment platform, business can be processed by appointment. We strictly implement working systems such as the "first inquiry responsibility system", "time-limited completion system", and "one-time notification system". For applications that meet the conditions, we ensure prompt acceptance and time-limited completion. We will vigorously promote extended services during holidays and green channel services, etc., to provide a strong guarantee for the efficient processing of foreign-related visa business and ensure that development not only shows strength but also increases warmth.

Optimize the ecosystem to "gather talents" and jointly paint a "new picture" of openness
The rich academic atmosphere of Xianlin University Town and the vigorous industrial vitality of Nanjing Economic and Technological Development Zone continue to attract foreign experts, students and entrepreneurs from all over the world to gather in Qixia. The full-scale launch of this "doorstep" visa service is a key move by Qixia District to optimize its foreign-related service ecosystem and enhance its internationalization level. Convenient and efficient entry and exit guarantees are like laying out a "worry-free" green channel for overseas talents, greatly eliminating their concerns about innovation, entrepreneurship, study and life in Qixia.

This service upgrade not only significantly enhances Qixia District's ability to gather global wisdom and resources, but also will effectively accelerate the construction process of "Innovative Qixia and Open Qixia", injecting strong "international momentum" into the high-quality development of the region. Standing at a new starting point, Qixia District will continue to improve international supporting measures, optimize the quality of government services, create a more convenient and friendly working and living environment for foreigners, join hands to draw a new blueprint for Qixia's development, and contribute Qixia's strength to the modernization of a "prosperous, strong, beautiful and high-quality" new Nanjing!
