用法
- A formal verb for "to handle, process, go through the procedure for" official or administrative matters - 办理签证 (bànlǐ qiānzhèng) to process a visa, 办理登机手续 to check in for a flight.
- More formal and procedure-oriented than 办 alone or 做; you'll hear it at banks, airports, government offices.
- Contrast with 办事 - 办事 is the general activity of "getting things done/running errands", while 办理 pairs with a specific formal procedure as its object (visas, accounts, check-in).
