实施“外国人申办居留证免于留存护照”政策措施预计将有哪些成效？

What are the expected results of implementing the policy measures of "exemption from passport retention for foreigners applying for residence permits"?

按照现行规定，在华外国人申办居留证件时，应将护照交付公安机关出入境管理部门留存审核、在领取居留证件时返还。随着移民管理服务信息化、标准化、规范化水平的提升，公安部、国家移民管理局主动回应在华外国人护照便利化应用的现实需求，决定出台“外国人申办居留证件免于留存护照”便利措施。这一措施重点针对在华工作、学习、科研、投资、创新创业以及探亲等常住外国人，方便他们在申办居留证件期间可继续持护照开展旅行、住宿、税务、银行、邮寄等社会事务。此举预计每年至少惠及70万人次以上，有助于营造更加高效便捷的营商环境和宽松友好的涉外环境，进一步激发市场活力，促进高水平开放高质量发展。

According to current regulations, when applying for a residence permit in China, foreigners should submit their passport to the entry and exit management department of the public security organ for review and return it upon receiving the residence permit. With the improvement of informatization, standardization and standardization of immigration management services, the Ministry of Public Security and the National Immigration Administration have taken the initiative to respond to the practical needs of the convenient application of passports for foreigners in China and decided to introduce the convenience measures of "foreigners applying for residence certificates are exempt from retaining passports". This measure focuses on permanent foreigners who work, study, research, invest, innovate and start businesses, and visit their families in China, making it convenient for them to continue to carry out social affairs such as travel, accommodation, taxation, banking, and mailing with their passports during the application for residence documents. This move is expected to benefit at least 700000 people annually, which will help create a more efficient and convenient business environment and a relaxed and friendly foreign-related environment, further stimulate market vitality, and promote high-level openness and high-quality development.
