国家移民管理局决定，自7月12日起在上海自由贸易试验区试点签发电子口岸签证。当日13时许，来自新加坡的钟先生持电子口岸签证从上海入境。请看本报昨日的报道：

Shanghai Municipality has issued China’s first e-visa, a significant move for the country in promoting the use of electronic visas. Holding an e-visa issued by the Government Affairs of Exit-Entry Administration Bureau of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, a man surnamed Chung from Singapore arrived at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport by plane at around 1 p.m. Friday, according to the bureau.

报道中的e-visa (electronic visa) 就是“电子签证”，申请电子签证需要登录相关政府网站，填写表格提交护照和证明材料，签证通过或者拒签会以邮件通知申请人。
