City begins using self-service devices

Guangzhou's exit-and-entry authorities have developed self-service machines for e-permit holders and will install them in the agency's headquarters starting next week.

After authorities test the self-service devices for two or three months, they will be installed in each district-level exit and entry agency in the city, said Chen Jianyi, deputy director of Guangzhou's exit-and-entry police.

E-permit holders must first apply for exit and entry endorsements through the Internet, phone or mobile phone apps WeChat and Jingmintong.
