今天，首先要跟大家講一下關於“境外人員臨時住宿登記”的問題。對於第一次來中國的外國人來說，可能還不是很瞭解， 什麼是“境外人員臨時住宿登記”？根據中華人民共和國出境入境管理法：
第三十九條 外國人在中國境內旅館住宿的，旅館應當按照旅館業治安管理的有關規定為其辦理住宿登記，並向所在地公安機關報送外國人住宿登記資訊。外國人在旅館以外的其他住所居住或者住宿的，應當在入住後二十四小時內由本人或者留宿人，向居住地的公安機關辦理登記。
Article 39 Where foreigners stay in hotels in China, the hotels shall register their accommodation in accordance with the regulations on the public security administration of the hotel industry, and submit foreigners’ accommodation registration information to the public security organs in the places where the hotels are located.
For foreigners who reside or stay in domiciles other than hotels, they or the persons who accommodate them shall, within 24 hours after the foreigners’ arrival, go through the registration formalities with the public security organs in the places of residence.
