willharrison Posted July 19, 2008 at 07:44 PM Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 at 07:44 PM Hi there I have been googling this for a good 45 mins and am none the wiser - so any help will be much appreciated. I plan to enroll for a year on the language program at BNU - but to start in the Spring semester 2009, then have the gap for summer, and then take the Fall semester. I therefore plan to apply for the X visa. Over the summer between semesters, I want to stay in China and travel around a bit rather than return to the UK. What I want to know is: can I stay throughout the summer 2009 on the X visa (by virtue of the fact that I will have enrolled on a 1 year program and be going back to BNU in the Fall)? If the X visa is not enough to keep me in China, which visa do I need? Am I able to get an L (tourist) visa - and if so will it be easy to extend it beyond the 30 days to cover the 2/3 months between semesters? And then would my x visa 'resume' when I register for the Fall semester? Which visa combination will keep me in China over the summer!! Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted July 19, 2008 at 08:34 PM Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 at 08:34 PM X visa will be fine, and if you're paying a year's tuition in one go you should get the full year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
