A process for the production of an entry sheet for drilling a printed wiring board material, which process comprises forming a multi-layered water-soluble resin composition layer on at least one surface of a metal foil, wherein an aqueous solution of a water-soluble resin composition is applied to the metal foil, dried and solidified to form one water-soluble resin composition layer, the application, drying and solidification of the aqueous solution of the water-soluble resin composition are repeated at least once to form at least one water-soluble resin composition layer on the above one water-soluble resin composition layer, the multi-layered water-soluble resin composition layer is composed of these water-soluble resin composition layers, the multi-layered water-soluble resin composition layer has a thickness of at least 50 μm and is almost free from air bubbles, and an entry sheet for drilling a printed wiring board material obtained by the above process.
