From Our Counselling Desk

Why China Student Visas Get Delayed or Refused

Patterns we see in files from students who want to study in China. The decision always rests with the Chinese embassy and immigration authorities, but a well-prepared file is clearer and stronger.

Missing the 30-day permit rule

The X1 visa only lets you enter.

Applying for CSC to the embassy

Pakistani students apply through HEC.

Errors on the JW form

Names and passport numbers must match.

An incomplete medical form

It must be signed and stamped.

Working without approval

Jobs need university and police approval.

An unrecognised programme

Check recognition in Pakistan, especially medicine.
