On May 3 2013, the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council published the PRC Exit-entry Administration Regulations for Foreigners (国务院法制办公室中华人民共和国外国人入境出境管理条例 (征求意见稿)) (Draft Regulation) for public comment. The Draft Regulation implements various requirements under the PRC Exit-entry Administration Law (中华人民共和国出境入境管理法), passed on June 30 2012 and effective as of July 1 2013.
The Draft Regulation proposes substantial changes to the existing visa and residence permit regime, which are likely to help the PRC government to regulate, monitor and control foreigners' activities more effectively in the PRC.
