3 Steps to Apply for the Chinese Student Visa

We would like to congratulate all of our students who received successful admissions to their desired Chinese universities.

After your acceptance, the university prepares and sends an admission package with the visa paper and admission notice to your given mailing address. So what should you do now?

It’s time to apply for your long-awaited Student Visa!

Step 1: Select a visa category. There are 2 types of student visa:

X1- Students who intend to study in China for a period of more than 180 days.

Step 2: Submit your application to the Visa Office of the Chinese Embassy/ Consulate General based on your State or country of residence
