Admission and Visa Application

After the application documents and application fee are received, if eligible, an admission notice will be issued and sent to the student. After receiving the admission notice and other materials, the student should go to the local Chinese embassy or consulate to apply for a student visa ("X" visa). The "X" visa shall be converted into a residential permit within 30 days after arrival in China.

Some students may need a "Visa Application for Study in China" form (JW202) when they apply for a student visa. We will send the JW202 form to these students, but make sure to apply for this form 2 months earlier, for it takes 2 months for approval. Foreign students under the age of 18 must be in the custody of guardians who should be a permanent resident in Guangzhou, and submit notarized certification of guardianship. For more details, please refer to "Guide to Notarized Certification of Guardianship for International Students under the Age of 18".

Transfer students from other Chinese universities can hold transfer letter from the former university, attendance records and valid residential permit to apply to extend their residential permit upon arrival.
