On June 6th, "Credit Day", the official of Sesame Credit announced that if the score of Sesame meets the requirements, you can apply for a Luxembourg Schengen visa on Zhu Fei platform (with a score of 750 or more for Sesame) and a five-year multiple-entry visa to Japan on Alipay (with a score of 700 or more for Sesame), you don't need to submit a bank memo, so you can run fewer errands. This is also after Singapore, two other countries have officially opened sesame visas and reduced application materials.
It is understood that the Consulate General of Luxembourg in Shanghai will take the lead in piloting the above services in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian and Shanghai.
However, Japan has multiple visas for five years, and Sesame Credit cooperates with American International Travel Service. The other party chooses to start this service in Beijing, covering applicants in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Hubei, Henan, Hunan, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Ningxia, Gansu, Shanxi and other provinces and cities 12.
In the past, users had to go to the bank once to apply for these two kinds of visas and print a bank memo. Luxembourg visa requires printing for three months, and Japan's five-year multiple visa is more stringent, requiring a bank memorandum for one year, with a cumulative income of 500,000. The threshold of this amount is very high, so many users are often unable to apply for a five-year multiple visa in Japan for this reason. But now, if the user's sesame score meets the requirements, it can save the trouble of submitting it to the bank.
So how to use these two services?
It is understood that if you apply for a Schengen visa in Luxembourg, users can log in to the flying pig on the PC side and find the Luxembourg option on the visa page; If you are applying for multiple visas in Japan for five years, you can open Alipay App and find this service on the "Sesame Credit-Credit Life" page.
However, it should be noted that some application materials are not submitted because of sesame seeds, which has no effect on the over-signing rate. Whether the user countersigns or not depends on whether the overall materials of the user are complete and the judgment of the visa officer.
Previously, Sesame Credit focused on rent, car rental, bicycle enjoyment and other fields. Meng Qian, a senior expert of Sesame Credit, said, "Whether it is a deposit or something, the essence is to solve a trust problem.
In the field of visas, what Sesame Credit wants to do is to let users hand in materials as little as possible, reduce the pain of running errands and make it easier to apply for visas. However, the visa process in many countries has been stable for many years and it is not easy to change. There are not many materials that can be saved now, but we will continue to try and promote them, so that less and less materials need to be submitted in the future.
