Hi guys, welcome back to China Admissions' Youtube
channel and today I'd like to share with you about the visa update. But before that
make sure to subscribe to our channel, like and also share this video!
So a lot of you have been asking me specifically about the student visa and also about the status
for international students who are wishing to come back and also to study on campus in China. So this
has become the frequently asked question of the year in 2020. "When can I go back to China?"
"When can I enter China and also study in China?" So currently we are still waiting for the updates
from the Chinese Government regarding this, so as everybody knows Chinese government closed its
border for foreigners on March 28, 2020, but then good news came, so by the end of September 2020,
Chinese Government officially opened its border for foreigners who have a valid residence
permit under these three following purposes: so those who have the valid residence permit
under: working and then family reunion and also for personal affairs. And so,
foreigners who have Chinese residence permits under this three following purposes: working,
family reunion and also personal affairs can now return to China and also come back to China,
but then those who have a residence permit before, but then it expires after March 28,
2020, they might need additional documents to be able to get the new visa and fly to China.
What about international students? The exact date is still unknown because there is no
official news yet from the Chinese Government, so we do hope that international students will
be invited back to China once everything is under control around the world, so once this pandemic
is over or once this pandemic is contained in everywhere around the world, then we do hope that
the chance for international students to be back to China will be increasing as well. So right now
we do not know what will happen for international students and the border- the Chinese border is
still closed for international students as well, so we are still waiting for the updates from the
Chinese Government regarding this because there is no official news about this yet. Regarding the
date, the official date, let's all wait for the official news from the Chinese Government, so in
the meantime you can enjoy your online classes, get the new experience from your online classes
as well and also make friends online. So seeing the world right now, everything is just connected
right? So there is internet, there are smartphones and everything so learning can be done literally
anywhere. So it doesn't matter if you're learning online, the quality of education delivered will
still be as good as if you are studying in China as well and also for admissions in 2021,
admissions is going normally for 2021 intake. Regarding whether or not students who are enrolled
for 2021 intake can study on campus or online, about that it depends on the situation in 2021 as
well, because right now it highly depends on the situation regarding the global Covid 19 pandemic
situation and if it gets better and then if the Chinese Government decides to open its border to
international students then international students will be invited to study on campus in 2021 intake.
However if Chinese Government decides not to open the border for international students yet
then international students must learn online in the time being until the border is open and
then if the border is open then they will be invited to study on campus.
So what I suggest to all of you who are already a student of a Chinese university now is actually
do your best in the online learning and please be adaptive and adjust to the current situation
as well. I believe the Chinese universities do their best in delivering the materials online
and this is a new arrangement for everyone so not only for you students, but also for the Chinese
universities, so everybody is trying to adapt to the new changes and hopefully we'll be able
to go back to the normal routine of learning anytime soon after the pandemic is contained.
So for those of you who are applying for the 2021 intake, my suggestion is to apply right
now so admissions and application is already open for 2021 intake, so you can actually apply now,
if you are accepted it will depend on the future situation as well, if the border is open then you
can continue and also you can be invited to study on campus but if the border is still closed, then
you can go through the online learning process as well. I believe Chinese universities have prepared
all the best for you guys in terms of like the on-campus learning or the online learning they
are doing their best as well to deliver great education for you guys. So don't waste time and
don't wait anymore because like for example if you wait for a longer time you might also
start your program later and then you will also graduate later but if you apply now for the 2021
intake and you will enroll on time for example for the 2021 intake then you will also have the
chance to graduate on time as well for four years for example if you're learning Bachelor's so you
don't have to waste any more time doing nothing in your home country. So even if you have to go
through the online learning process you have to be able to adapt and also get through it, it could
be like an interesting experience for you guys and also you can definitely get something out of that.
Last but not least my message to all of you guys is to stay safe wash your hands keep your social
distance and also wear masks regularly whenever you are outside. And if you want to apply to
Chinese universities do let us know and we'll help you we will guide you through your application and
we'll see you soon in china again! Bye!
