4 Visa Application Foreign students planning to study in China should have a valid passport and an X1 or X2 visa in order to register. Students planning to study in China for a period longer than six months are required to apply for an 'X1' Visa. Students that will study in China for six months or less may apply for an 'X2' visa. X1 visa holders must apply for a Foreigner Residence Permit within 30 days from entering China, otherwise their stay constitutes an illegal residence. Because students will not be allowed to register before registration day and our office takes around 7 days to process the necessary documents to apply for a residence permit, students are advised to enter China one week before registration day.it takes from 11 to 15 working days to process a new residence permit. X2 visa holders can apply for a visa extension during their stay in China, but the total extension time cannot exceed one year. The number of entries permitted and time limits for stay in China will be written on the visa. Each student should verify the number of entries and the expiration dates on their visa and register to school on time. Entering Mainland China from any of the special administrative regions of Macao, Hong Kong or Taiwan counts as one entry. Important Notice: If you are still in China after your visa or residence permit has expired your stay in China will become illegal and you will be fined 500RMB per day or will be detained between 5 to 15 days. Students will be allowed to apply for a visa or residence permit only after they have paid their tuition and insurance fees. Please pay attention to your passport and visa status, make sure they are not expired. When you go out, please take copies of passport, visa and valid temporary residence; take your passport with you if you are traveling outside Beijing. Note: We recommend all students to apply X2 visa if they stay in China no more that 180 day. X2 visa can be prolonged and changed to X1. If the students definitely will study in BIT or one of Beijing's Universities as exchange students, he/she can apply for X1 visa. Extra program on BIT Zhuhai Campus Students can choose to study in Zhuhai Campus during the last week of BIT Summer School. Zhuhai is a city near Macao, BIT has a campus in Zhuhai. We prefer to organize some students to take a one week study on BIT Zhuhai Campus. During their stay in Zhuhai, we ll organize a short visit to Macao and Honkong. If students want to take part in a 2 days trip in Macao and Honkong, they have to pay extra money for Hotel\ Eating\Transportation in Macau and Honkong. Students should prepare the visa for Macau and Honkong by themselves. (the total price depends on the condition of Hotel in Honkong) Students needn't pay extra fee (tuition fee and dormitory) in Zhuhai. But they have to pay railway ticket (RMB960 for Railway ticket one way ) and all the costs in Hongkong and Macao by themselves. If there are more than 15 students want to visit Zhuhai. We would organize the extra program. The other students will stay in Beijing and continue their study in BIT. If there are not enough applicants, the extra program will not be organized.
