Processing Method:Starting from April 15, 2026, electronic permits for border management areas (i.e., electronic permits) have been uniformly implemented nationwide. You can apply for and process the permit online through the “Immigration 12367” APP or the WeChat and Alipay mini-programs.
Processing Procedure:After inputting your valid ID number and completing facial recognition verification, select “Application for Border Management Area Permit” and fill in the relevant information (select “Tourism” as the reason). After submission, the system usually completes the review within 10 to 30 minutes and pushes the electronic permit to the mini-program.
Precautions: When filling in the destination, be sure to specify it down to the county level (e.g., if visiting Xiarxili, fill in “Bole City, Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang”). Please download the PDF in advance and save it to your phone’s photo album, and print a paper copy as a backup (in case you cannot access it online due to lack of network signal in mountainous areas).
