8. The remainder of your program fee for tuition needs to be paid direct
to the university prior to classes commencing.
9. Once you have paid your tuition fee to the university then we will help
you to convert your short term L:-visa to either a 6-month F-visa (for
students wishing to study for 1 semester) or a 12 month X-visa (for
students wishing to study for 2 semesters). Students converting to an
X-visa will need to go to hospital for a medical check up. Chinese in
China will send a representative with you.
Note: Chinese in China asks all long term students to initially obtain
short-term L-visa’s to first come out to China. The reason for this is
that long term visa documents can only be issued by your university of
study once you have paid your full tuition fee. Rather than doing this
before coming to China you can instead pay a course deposit to reserve
your place and then your full balance once you arrive in China direct to
the university. Visa fees and procedures are cheaper and faster to
complete in China. Once you have paid the balance of your tuition fee to
your university of study then converting to a long term F or X visa has a
100% success rate. We will send a representative with you to the
university office to help you fill out visa conversion form.
