How to apply Visa?

In order to come to China and study at NJCIT, you are required to apply for a student visa. You need to make the application in our own country or where you are living before entering China.

In order to come to China and study at NJCIT, you are required to apply for a student visa. The student visa is called an X type visa, which translates as 学生Xue Sheng (student) in Chinese. You need to make the application in our own country or where you are living before entering China. Your first step will be to check the location and guidelines specific to your nationality on http://www.visaforchina.org.

There are two types of X visa which relate to the duration of your study programme – one for long term study (more than 6 months) and one for short term study. For long-term students, you enter China using the X1 visa and then need to go through an immigration process to obtain a Residence Permit (RP).

You need the following documents for an X visa application:

1.Original Admission Notice (Sent to you by NJCIT)

2.JW202 Form (Sent to you by NJCIT)

3.X Visa Application Form downloaded from http://www.visaforchina.org or the visa application section on the website of the Chinese embassy in your own country

4.Any extra requirements listed on http://www.visaforchina.org or the visa application section on the website of the Chinese embassy

NJCIT posts out original copies of Admission Notice and JW202 Form to students. Students should make sure to apply as early as possible, in order to leave sufficient time for visa applications and pre-departure arrangements.

You need to keep the Admission Notice and JW202 Form safe after you have applied for the visa and bring them to China with you. You need them for your enrolment and immigration processes. If, for any reason, the Chinese Embassy/Consulate do not return them to you, please ask them to do this.

Note: Students who apply near to the July 15th 2022 deadline should pay their deposit ASAP if they wish to accept their NJCIT place. This is because of the risk of a visa delay and subsequent delayed arrival.

APPLICANTS UNDER 18 YEARS OLD

For applicants under 18 years old, please read the NJCIT Guardianship Guidance carefully and complete the Guardianship Transfer Form and the Guardianship Transfer Declaration. Should you have any queries regarding guardianship transferal, please don’t hesitate to contact us on guojichu@njcit.cn.

NJCIT Guardianship Guidance

Based on the guardianship requirements in the National Policy No. 42 jointly issued by the Chinese Ministry of Education, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Public Security in 2017 has developed this guidance in support of safeguarding of international students and legal compliance.

Scope of NJCIT Guardianship Guidance

This guidance applies to all international students (excluding summer school short course) who:

• Whose age is under 18 after they are enrolled

• Whose parents or current guardians in their home countries cannot come to China and live with them

1. Guardianship Transferring

For under 18 year old students, it is mandatory for parents/ current guardians of the international students to transfer the guardianship to the others, either Chinese citizens or foreigners who are currently working and living in Nanjing or cities nearby.

After the guardianship is transferred to the new guardian, the current guardian or the international student must submit a Guardianship Transfer Form and supporting documents to NJCIT Global. The supporting documents include the following:

• Chinese citizen’s identification card and Hukou certificate (photocopy)

• Non-Chinese citizens passport and residence permit (photocopy)

In case the Guardianship Transfer Form and the supporting documents are required when applying for an X visa in the Chinese Embassy/Consulate, parents or current guardians of the underage international students shall start to prepare these documents after the acceptance of the University’s unconditional offer.

All documents should be submitted to NJCIT Global for notarization and archive purpose, and will be provided to the Exit & Entry Bureau if they are required when converting the student X type visa into residence permit after the student enrolls at NJCIT.

2. Student Visa Application Document Processing

The University will process and courier the student (X type) visa application documents, including the JW202 Form for foreigners to study in China and the Admission Notice, to students right after the payment of the deposit is confirmed by the University Finance Office.

The current guardians are responsible to prepare the Guardianship Transfer Form and the supporting documents, which may be required for the visa application. These exact rules of each Chinese embassy or consulate should be checked at that time as these are subject to change and local implementation.

As the government’s policy on guardianship and Exit & Entry Bureau’s visa practice may be subject to change, we will give prompt updates to underage students and their parents.

Should you have any further inquiry or need any assistance on guardianship transfer or visa application please don’t hesitate to contact NJCIT Global on guojichu@njcit.cn.
