Guide for Chinese Student Visa (X1/X2) Application for International Students Coming to China

X1: For study lasting more than 180 days (long-term degree programs); X2: For study lasting 180 days or less (short-term exchange / summer camps). Applications must be submitted at Chinese embassies, consulates or visa centres outside China. It is NOT possible to convert to an X visa after entering China.

Items

X1 Visa (Long-term Study)

X2 Visa (Short-term Study)

Eligible Duration of Study in China

Over 180 days

180 days or less

Stay upon Entry

The visa only permits a 30-day stay. A study-type Residence Permit must be applied for within 30 days after entry.

The visa states the period of stay directly (maximum 180 days). Cannot be converted into a Residence Permit.

Core Documents

Admission Notice + Form JW201 / JW202

Admission Notice + Short-term Study Information Form (DQ Form)

Part-time Work & Study

Endorsement for work-study may be applied for after obtaining the Residence Permit.

No endorsement for work-study or off-campus internship is available.

Important Reminders:

  1. ❌ Do not attempt to switch from an L tourist visa to a student visa after entering China. In most cases, you will be required to leave China and reapply, which carries significant risks.
  2. The 30-day time limit for X1 visa holders is strict. Failure to apply for the residence permit before the deadline constitutes overstay and will result in penalties.
  3. Information on Forms JW201/JW202 must match the names on the admission notice and passport exactly. Any spelling mistakes will lead to visa rejection.
  4. Visa fees and processing times vary among consulates in different countries. Please check with the Chinese Visa Application Service Center in your location.
  5. Border officers may inspect your admission notice and JW forms upon entry. You are advised to carry hard copies instead of only keeping electronic versions on your phone.
