& Registration Guide
If you are holding an X1 visa: You must register at the
university and apply for a residence permit in 30 days
after the entrance of China, otherwise illegal stay is
constituted. Usually there is only one entry permitted
on your visa. Since early registration is not entertained
and it usually takes 3-5 days for the preparation of
documents required for the residence permit application,
it is suggested that you enter China and come to register
at least 1 week before expiration date of Visa.
In particular, travelling from Hong Kong S.A.R, Macau S.A.R
and China Taiwan to mainland of China counts an entry.
2. For international students who are already staying or
residing in China, please check your visas, stay permits
or residence permits, and read the following notices
respectively:
If you are holding a residence permit: You shall assure
that, on the date of registration, there are still over
30 days left to the expiry of the validity period. After
registration, you need to apply for a new residence
permit for study.
If you are holding a visa of another type: You shall assure
that, on the date of registration, there are still over 7
days left to the expiry of the duration of the stay. After
registration, you need to apply for a residence permit,
or change to a study purpose visa. If the application
is failed, you have to go back home to apply for a new
study purpose visa overseas, and re-enter China and
register with the new visa.
If you are holding a stay permit, you cannot apply for
a new visa or residence permit in China. You have to

overseas, and re-enter China and register with the new
visa.

permit is not adequate for necessary formalities. Therefore,

avoid entering China too early before the registration,
which causes the visa expired at the registration time.
Expired visas will cause failure of registration and other
unnecessary troubles.
Moreover, if you have to apply for a residence permit
after registration, it will take about one month to get your
passport back. If you have to apply for extension of stay

government, the university shall report all the admitted
but unregistered students to the immigration. If you

register in the corresponding university, the visa will be
canceled and you will be penalized for illegal stay.

that, on the date of registration, there are still over 7
days left to the expiry of the duration of the stay. After

3. About trip planning.
Registration is not accepted if a) too early; or b) you
are holding an expired visa/residence permit; or c) the
remaining time to the expiration of your visa/residence
permit is not adequate for necessary formalities. Therefore,
you should better make your trip plan carefully to
avoid entering China too early before the registration,
which causes the visa expired at the registration time.
Expired visas will cause failure of registration and other
unnecessary troubles.
Moreover, if you have to apply for a residence permit
after registration, it will take about one month to get your
passport back. If you have to apply for extension of stay
or more entries for your visa, it will take about 3 weeks
to get your passport back. During this time, you cannot
travel to other places except for the Beijing city. You
should better take it into consideration.
4. About giving up admission.

but unregistered students to the immigration. If you
