Before completing the application, bring together:
Begin with general details. Ask us how to provide documents before sending passport images or other sensitive records.
The study period and school records help determine the appropriate category.

For elementary or secondary school study, the Consulate lists a separate Confirmation Form for Elementary-Stage Foreign Students to Study in China.
Prepare the admission notice issued by the school or receiving institution in China, plus the Information Form for Foreign Students’ Short-term Visit, known as the DQ form, if available.
Ask the school to confirm your study dates and which documents it can issue.

The Consulate recommends applying one to two months before travel. Its general four-working-day review period begins after online review has passed and the passport has been submitted. Individual cases may take longer.
School document corrections, online review, office closures and passport return sit outside that period. If your start date is close, contact us with your current status so we can discuss the remaining tasks.
