深圳警方近期展開一場針對簽證黑產的嚴厲整治行動，引發社會廣泛關注。據媒體報導，深圳警方查抄37家空殼公司，並對約12萬名印度籍人士展開全面清查。這些空殼公司多數隱藏在居民樓內，辦公環境極為簡陋，僅有幾張桌椅，幾乎沒有任何實際業務，但卻被用來為外國人辦理簽證，形成非法的“掛靠”現象。此次整治行動，部分依賴這些空殼公司辦理簽證的印度留學生因此陷入困境，難以找到合法依托。

深圳對金融及相關行業的清理並非一時之舉。早在2020年，深圳就已開始對融資租賃、小額貸款等類金融企業進行排查，當時僅融資租賃領域就清退589家不合規公司。近一年來，北京、雲南、湖南等多地也陸續展開對失聯或空殼的小貸公司的清理行動。這一系列舉措旨在降低行業規模，確保留下的企業均符合監管要求。

雖然有聲音認為清退行動可能影響部分人的簽證申請，但相關部門強調，規則就是規則。對於那些沒有實際經營、僅作掛靠用途的公司，如果繼續存在，不僅無法提供合法保障，反而會擾亂市場秩序。近年來，深圳在金融風險防控方面持續高壓管理，通過大數據系統篩查、實地核查以及名單公示等手段，逐步將不合規的“殼子公司”清理出市場，維護整個金融和簽證服務體系的合規與安全。

此次行動不僅展示深圳對金融秩序與外籍人員管理的嚴格態度，也向社會釋放出明確信號：任何借空殼公司進行非法簽證操作的行為都將被依法查處，市場秩序與公共安全優先於個人便利。

Shenzhen police have recently launched a major crackdown on illegal visa operations, drawing widespread attention across China. According to media reports, authorities have raided 37 shell companies and initiated a comprehensive review involving around 120,000 Indian nationals. Most of these shell companies were hidden in residential buildings, with minimal office setups consisting of just a few desks and chairs, and almost no actual business activities. Despite their lack of operations, these companies were being used to illegally facilitate visa applications for foreign nationals. As a result, some Indian students who relied on these companies for visa sponsorship have found themselves without legal support.

This regulatory cleanup is not a sudden measure. As early as 2020, Shenzhen began inspecting finance-related sectors, including leasing and small loan companies, and cleared 589 non-compliant leasing firms. In the past year, other regions such as Beijing, Yunnan, and Hunan have also carried out purges of inactive or shell small loan companies. The overarching goal is to reduce the size of the industry while ensuring that remaining companies operate in full compliance with regulations.

While some observers have expressed concern that these cleanups may impact visa approvals, authorities emphasize that rules are rules. Companies that exist only on paper for the purpose of sponsorship not only fail to provide legal guarantees but also disrupt the market. Over the past few years, Shenzhen has maintained strict control over financial risk management, using big data screening, on-site inspections, and public disclosure of non-compliant entities to gradually remove illegal shell companies from the market and uphold the integrity of the financial and visa systems.

This crackdown highlights Shenzhen’s strict stance on both financial order and the management of foreign nationals, sending a clear message that any use of shell companies for illegal visa operations will be investigated and punished, and that market order and public security take precedence over individual convenience.
