近年来随着中国在世界经济大舞台的地位日益重要，越来越多的外国人来到中国谋求一份职业。根据我国法律规定，外国人在中国就业必须办理工作签证，也就是工作类别的居留许可，是贴在护照上的一种签证，而居留事由为工作。如有随行家属，家属可以一同办理居留许可签证，居留事由为私人事务。

那么对于Q字、S字签证有什么区别？

针对该问题，梳理了以下内容。

So what is the difference between a Q visa and S visa?

In response to this problem, the following content are sorted out.

根据2013年7月1日最新实施的出入境管理法，中国家属探亲签证主要包括以下几种类型：

According to the newly implemented entry and exit administration law on July 1, 2013, Chinese family visit visas mainly include the following types:

1 S字签证：私人事务

S visa : private affairs

S字签证系从原L字签证中分设出的新类别，主要签发给入境探亲及处理私人事务的外国人。

The "S" visa is a new category from "L" visa, which is mainly issued to foreigners who are visiting relatives and handling private affairs.

关于S字签证有以下3点需要注意：

◆1. 与Q字签证相比，S字签证实际上也涵盖了入境探亲的事由，但S字签证申请人的探亲对象必须是因工作、学习等事由在华居留的外国人。其他在华居留外国人，如持Q1字、S1字签证入境在华居留的外国人则不属此对象范畴;

◆2. S1字签证颁发对象必须是“因工作、学习等事由在中国境内居留的外国人的配偶、父母、未满18周岁的子女、配偶父母”，S2字签证则为“因工作、学习等事由在中国境内停留居留的外国人的家庭成员”，也就是说S1字和S2字签证的签发对象范围是不同的;

◆3. 其他私人事务主要包括婚姻、继承、诉讼、医疗等签证机关认为合理的事由。

There are three points to note about S visa:

First,compared with the Q visa,the S visa actually covers the reasons for visiting relatives. However, the applicant for the S visa applicant must be a foreigner staying in China for work, study, etc. And other foreigners staying in China, such as holding Q1 visa or S1 visa is not included in this category;

Second,The S1 visa must be issued to the spouse, parents, children under the age of 18, and spouse parents of foreigners who reside in China for work, study, etc. The S2 visa is “for work, study, etc.” The family members of foreigners staying in China, that is, the scope of the S1 and S2 visas is different;

Third, other private affairs mainly include matters that the visa authorities consider reasonable in marriage, inheritance, litigation, and medical care.

2 Q字签证：探亲华人

Q visa : visit Chinese relatives

多年来，我国为外国来华探亲人员签发L字签证，未将其与来华旅游及处理其他私人事务人员相区分，在一定程度上影响了中国驻外使领馆更具针对性地为广大来中国探亲的海外华人群体，提供入境及停留居留便利。条例将“探亲”这一事由从L字签证中剥离，专门增设了Q字签证，并根据申请入境停留时限及人群特质，分为Q1和Q2两个子类别。

For many years, China has issued an L visa for foreign relatives to China, and has not distinguished it from traveling to China and handling other private affairs personnel. To a certain extent,this has affected Chinese embassies and consulates in other countries to provide more targeted entry, stay and residence convenience for the majority of overseas Chinese visiting relatives in China. The "Regulations on "Family Visiting" are separated from the L visa, and a Q visa is added. According to the application time limit and the characteristics of the people, it is divided into two sub-categories: Q1 and Q2.
