Jason. Posted March 24, 2010 at 04:39 AM Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 at 04:39 AM Hi Guys. I'm from the UK an will be studying at jiao tong this september. I pretty much understand how the whole legal process will work but would love to be told I'm wrong > So I'll get my X visa but also apply for an L (60 day multi-entry) so I can arrive in July (Arriving & staying before my 30 X visa limit?) > Get a hotel and then find an apartment > Sign the apartment contract on an L visa? (I've read this is fine, landlords don't ask) > Report to the PSB within 24 hours to get a temporary residence visa > Once the uni term starts get my admission form and health check then apply for proper residency. Does this sound like a plan? Or a plan to get myself kicked out? Many Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanglu Posted March 24, 2010 at 06:24 AM Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 at 06:24 AM Only one problem. You can only have one visa at a time so you will need to get the X visa only when you are ready to use it. You might have to leave China to do this.

Jason. Posted March 29, 2010 at 11:27 AM Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 at 11:27 AM Yeh I thought I could run into problems trying it that way, thanks for the help though! I think I'll just scrap the early entry plan and arrive 2 weeks before my term starts then try to find a place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_CH Posted March 30, 2010 at 12:09 PM Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 at 12:09 PM Have the same problem, can I apply for a multiple-entry 1 year study Visa while staying in Hong Kong or elsewhere in Asia ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantos Posted March 30, 2010 at 04:11 PM Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 at 04:11 PM hi, maybe i will have the same problem in July-August. So I've made some inquiries. And i guess it's possible to converse your L visa to X visa without leaving China. But you will need the help of the university you applied (because after the deadline applicants who don't receive the admission package in time come with L visa to China and later they alter it to X). So you should ask your chinese university if they could help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
