Why is it that it is very hard for chinese citizens to get visas to other countries.?

It is incredibly hard for Chinese citizens to get visas out of China because the government doesn't want citizens to leave the country. Most Chinese want to leave China because there are just so many people and too little opportunities. School is highly competitive and those who don't make it to the top are considered nothing. People with a steady job are getting paid less than $125 dollars a week to do hard labor. Health care is based on bribes and under the table money. Societal problems include the one child policy, the inferiority of women, and the lack of personal freedoms. \n\nChinese want to leave China and come to the US, but it's just not possible. The US doesn't want a billion Chinese on its soil taking away jobs and putting Americans out of work. Plus the American society isn't ready for a massive migration from any other country. If the government allowed easier exits then everyone would want to leave China and head for America. There are those who make it out of China and eventually to America, but staying here is another obstacle.\n\nConsulates and embassies deny a visa because they are afraid that if they allow exit, then they might not return. That's the main reason.

If these laws are able to be enforced in china, then why do they not appear to be able to enforce them elsewhere in the west? sorry i answered your question with a question

It is very difficult.  Generally, diplomatic positions are given to people as a patronage job.  You are expected to have a very intricate knowledge of the country and its political positions, and have to pass a number of background checks by the government.

let me tell you something, maybe this can clarify and also give you some information:\nThere is just few visas granted to each country every year, of course there is a lot of more people who want to come here but to reach that kind of visas is almost impossible.  I'm illegal, also I'm skilled worker, I have a lot of years of experience also in my specialty, I'm bilingual and I have been also on the school here.  My boss will be glad to support me with any help to get my green card but, I have to wait 5 more years and pay about $10,000.  The major problem is because you cannot do anything for yourself, is not like when you go to the DMV to pay your stickers or do a transfer, with immigration you have to hire an attorney and also have to wait for a very long process because is so many people doing the same.  I'm paying my taxes, I have my car insurance, I'm supporting my local fire department as a volunteer and also a search and rescue team. I mean, I'm doing my best here and I have no other choice like to continue on this way until something happen.  \nBefore to think negative against an illegal alien you must have to talk with few of us and understand few thing who this situation involves.  It is hard to be on the dark, but is even hard to do in the right way.  What if instead of a lot of volunteers doing bad things against illegals better go to immigration offices and offer them some help to speed up the process? couple years ago, one immigration employee sent to the trash a lot of applications just because his desk have to many jobs pending to do.  I'm also not sending any money back, and there is a lot of illegals like me who are doing a lot of good things to benefit this country.  This kind of debate is very hard since there is a lot of wrong information and wrong image about us, a lot of people just think on us like drug sellers, welfare collectors, restroom cleaners.  But we are more than that.  I agree, there is a lot of them who are doing bad things, but is like any community, if you pay attention on the movies, any movie with Young's involved also involves drugs and alcohol.  Go to Hollywood Blvd. at night and you'll see a lot of Americans using drugs and if you move to the south over sunset blvd. you can se prostitution in early hours on the street.  Is easy to point the finger to certain people in particular but when we have to take a look in our own people we also can discover about the same thing.\nWelfare collectors? just go to Alhambra and you will see a lot of Armenians collecting welfare.  Go to the South Central LA and there is a lot of drug dealers, but who lives in that area? black people!\nUnfortunately bad people exist in any community, not matter if is American, Latino, Black or European, you'll find whatever on the streets.  Now, think on this:\nThere is 2 cities:\n\n1.- X City, populated by 500 illegal immigrants and 40 Americans.  The jail have 99% of illegals, also most of the crimes are made by illegals.\n\n2.- Y City, populated by 500 Americans and 60 illegal immigrants.  Do you know who's the majority on the jail? who's doing overpopulation on the hospitals and who run the mafia? \n\nIs like simple math, more people of an specific classification could elevate the statistics who affect that specific classification.  And let's do worse.  Illegal immigrants are poor people, and almost all the patrons pay very low wages, they have to do miracles to survive. But few of them like me, can find the way to do it.  I'm running my own small business and very soon I'll have employees and I hope, in the near future I can have my green card, then I can go to visit my brother and sisters.  I have 12 years living here, I even don't remember how they look.\nI hope this can help you

The united states have a kind of lotery for people overseas to get a visa.  You have to fill some requirements to enter and then you can participate.  However, online ou will find many sites that offer help, but gotta be careful because they might be scam.   This lotery is free and the government handles it.\n\nOne chance in 50,000 but at least you can try.

From what I understand, only about 5,000 visas are granted per year in the US.  A very small amount of those are given to people of low education and job status.  Most are given to people who can help us through their work or immediate family members of those people.  Since most of the illegals would fall under the lower class catagory, you will have a very hard time finding info about it.

It takes a loooooong time. They dont generally exaggerate a whole lot on the websites. That is based on when it is a busy period, but I think it probably takes a little bit less. Good Luck with the immigration process.

Part of it has to due with their huge population. A lot of jobs have been outsourced to China because they can make it cheaper because they don't have things like a minimum wage like America. Therefore they can always "find someone else" to fill a job.

Getting a passport into this country is hard and becoming a US citizen is even harder. Because I'm not an illegal imigrant, I'm just saying what I've read and what I understand. They do it because the cost of getting a passport is too much for them to afford. Most of them need a good jop and they need money for their families. It isn't hard to understand

Technically China is the haven for corrupt Chinese criminals...\n\nAnyways...what are you talking about? Are you saying that Chinese emigrants are criminals because they're rich? If so, there are ways to become rich all over the world. Just because you live in another country doesn't mean you can't make a lot of money.

the visa officer is GOD, he/she can do whatever they please and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Their power is completely unchecked. You just happened to be unlucky.\n\nThey must've ,however, given you a reason... what exactly is it ? you didn't say... also they very often deny you if you don't apply in your country of origin.\n\nMy only advice to you is to go to your country of origin and apply from there... when you go there make sure you prepare well and have a good story as of why you were previously denied.\n\ngood luck

It seems that the people who are in support of the immigrants are really in support of illegal immigrants. Just because many of the undocumented people do alot of the low end jobs, it doesn't give them the right to stay here permanently. \n\nWhat about all the people from other parts of the world who have to wait 5-10+ years to get a visa? how fair is it to them? Legal immigrants from China or wherever could and would do the same type of low pay jobs that the illegal immigrants are doing. Shit, they make about $5 a day in china so being a janitor is a big step up. \n\nAlso, the difference between alot of legal immigrants and illegal ones are that many more legal immigrants are educated in their home countries and are more likely to get better jobs here. They won't work in the low end jobs for long and they will improve the national economy. You don't see that enough with illegal immigrants. too many of them stay stuck in the lowest paying jobs.

IF you are a resident of Japan , which seems to be your case, YES you can apply there but beware that it may be more difficult to obtain your visa there... It is very common that a visa officer denies an application because he is not familiar with the conditions in your country of origin ,hence, he is not able to make a decision in your case...\n\nIt depends a lot on what citizenship you hold...

The U.S. is the number one country that gives out work visas.  You have to go to contact the U.S. government in your country to get one.

Australian - or for that matter any other country- passport holders do not have a right fo visit other countries without a visa. Some counries may waive the visa requirement. You need to check the visa requirements for the specific country that you may want to visit.\n\ncc

International rules aren't that strict. It's often determined by which country you are a citizen of, not where you are born. There are even some exceptions to that, however.
