If your passport expires, will your visa expire? Yes
如果你的護照過期，你的籤證會過期嗎？對
I had to renew my American passport all summer. I'm glad to be able to fill in more blank pages on my passport, but there are also some small problems that need attention.
整個夏天我不得不更新我的美國護照。我很高興能在護照上多填幾頁空白頁，不過也有一些小毛病需要注意。
Let’s SFBC tell you what should you do if your visa is expired.
SFBC會告訴如果你的籤證護過期而籤證沒有過期你該做些什麼。
I just went to Beijing for one night, because I flew from Hong Kong, so the condition without visa is unqualified. (if you go from one country / region to another, you can only make a transit without a visa by choosing a port in mainland China.).
我剛去北京過了一晚，因為我是從香港飛過來的，所以沒有籤證的條件是不合格的。（如果你從一個國家/地區到另一個國家/地區，通過選擇中國大陸的港口，你只能做一個沒有籤證的過境）。
So in this post I wanted to share my experience with using a Chinese visa in an expired passport.
所以在這篇文章中，我想分享我在過期護照中使用中國籤證的經驗。
Chinese Visas & Expired Passports
I have a 10 year Chinese visa, which I applied for in 2015, so it’s valid through 2025. Meanwhile my previous passport expired in 2019.
中國籤證和過期護照
我有一個10年的中國籤證，我在2015年申請的，所以有效期到2025年。與此同時，我之前的護照在2019年到期。
The good news is that your Chinese visa is still valid in expired passports, as long as you travel with your current and expired passports:
好消息是，你的中國籤證在過期護照中仍然有效，只要你帶著你現在和過期的護照旅行：
· You』ll just have to show your current and expired passports whenever a visa is needed.
只要有籤證，你就得出示你現在和過期的護照
· When you fill out immigration cards, enter your current passport number, and then enter your visa number from your expired passport.
填寫移民卡時，請輸入您當前的護照號碼，然後從過期護照中輸入您的籤證號碼。
How Does It Work In Practice?
Entering this trip, I know this is a technical policy, although I would like to know how it will work in practice. For example, airport employees are sometimes misled in terms of policies, so I wonder if there will be any problems in the travel process due to expired passports.
在實踐中它是如何工作的？
進入這次旅行，我知道這是技術上的政策，雖然我想知道它將如何在實踐中工作。例如，機場員工有時在政策上被誤導，所以我想知道在旅行過程中是否會因為護照過期而遇到問題。
Much to my surprise, there were no issues at all:
· There were no issues when I checked in at a US airport for my flight to Beijing (via Hong Kong).
· There were no issues in Hong Kong when I was connecting and had to show my visa.
· There were no issues upon arrival at immigration.
· There were no issues when I checked into a hotel in Beijing and had to show my visa.
· There were no issues upon departure at immigration.
令我驚訝的是，根本沒有問題：
· 我在美國機場辦理登機手續時沒有任何問題（飛往香港）。
· 在我聯繫香港的時候，我的籤證沒有問題。
· 入境時沒有任何問題。
· 當我入住北京的一家酒店並出示籤證時，沒有任何問題。
· 在移民局離境時沒有任何問題。
know that this is how it’s supposed to work, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will always work that way.
我知道這就是它的工作方式，但這並不一定意味著它總是這樣工作。
So for the next few years I』ll be traveling with three passports — my current US one, my expired one, and my German one.
所以在接下來的幾年裡，我將帶著三本護照旅行——我現在的美國護照，我過期的護照，還有我的德國護照。
