roddy Posted July 30, 2013 at 09:32 AM Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 at 09:32 AM Haytham and anyone else - that letter is far too long and difficult to understand. The people reading it will not be native English speakers, and at this time of year they are very busy. Keep it short and simple. Shakil, it's very quick and easy to open a bank account, you'll just need your passport. Just open an account at whatever branch they recommend, or whichever is closest. Then do the same next year. It's actually very easy in China, you'll be finished in half an hour at most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00kies Posted July 30, 2013 at 02:01 PM Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 at 02:01 PM Hello everyone, I was wondering.... How long does it take to get an X Visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulovsky Posted July 31, 2013 at 08:57 AM Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 at 08:57 AM Got the admission letter from BIT yesterday! I'm going to apply for the visa today, but I already have a problem. I scheduled the plane ticket for August 27th but now the university informed me that the dorm won't be available before September 8th. Guess I have to change the plane ticket, I wonder how much that is going to cost me... Anyway, can't wait to go to Beijing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagpipes1000 Posted July 31, 2013 at 10:32 AM Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 at 10:32 AM @djandrews70 I am from the UK and applied to EU window and received scholarship. Sure I agree not many Brits seem to get it via EU but at least at UK level there are lots of positions up for grabs via universities etc. Don't give up, no harm to apply next year!

MockCharge Posted July 31, 2013 at 11:24 AM Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 at 11:24 AM I really appreciate all the feedback I've gotten from everyone on this forum so I won't rave on about this any longer. Would just like to know if anyone applied for their scholarship without going through their local embassy like I did and received their admission letter? Did they send the admission letters to your home address? (This is the address that I gave the University) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuoshuo Posted July 31, 2013 at 11:57 AM Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 at 11:57 AM @shakilmahtab - Students heading to other cities will leave as soon as possible. Last time I was there, I arrived Beijing in the evening and they arranged my train ticket for the following morning. If you want to stay in Beijing for 3 days you will have to ask permission, and if you are granted that permission (although I'm guessing that you might not be) then you will have to pay for your own ticket to your final destination city. Try to ask in advance, good luck. Update - I should add this: the organizers will arrange a bus to take you to the train station. At this point, your schools will be informed of your arrival time. If you want to stay in Beijing (you will have to cover accommodation costs) you could call your university and ask them if it's alright for you to attend this international expo. That way, it's an issue that's between your school and yourself without CSC knowing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shikeqi Posted July 31, 2013 at 07:06 PM Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 at 07:06 PM @c00kies it depends on how much you're willing to pay for the VISA. They have different options at a different fee: "express" (1-2 days), standard and etc. I got the standard one and it took 4 days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanda Posted July 31, 2013 at 07:19 PM Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 at 07:19 PM MockCharge I applied direct to the University (not through the Embassy). I got my acceptance letter through my workplace address, It was sent through DHL. The lady from the University was constantly in touch, updating me on each and every stage of my application. It's a pity I am not taking up this PhD place because I have another Scholarship in U.K. In your case if you applied through the the University, expect the admission letter to be sent direct to the address you gave them. From my experience some Universities are poor at communication, when you write them an email, sometimes they don't even bother to reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EjaculusMaximus Posted August 1, 2013 at 03:22 PM Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 at 03:22 PM I've called ministry of education, and they informed me that I got the scholarship . Anybody else going to HIT? I skimmed through universities subforum, but last post in HIT topic was from 2012. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presando Posted August 1, 2013 at 03:50 PM Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 at 03:50 PM Does anyone know the procedure to get a new JW201 form? I received the scholarship and applied for an X-visa; however, the people at the embassy informed me that since I had renewed my passport then I should get a new JW201 form as the current JW201 from carries my old passport number. My old passport is stapled to my new one so I don't see what the problem is. I applied through the embassy for the scholarship. I was admitted by Central South University (admission letter) following 1 year Chinese language at Tongji University. I need to register in Tongji by the 4th September. Do I need to email the CSC? Do I need to email Tongji? Admins do you have any information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuoshuo Posted August 1, 2013 at 04:10 PM Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 at 04:10 PM @presando - You could always apply for a single-entry visa, instead of applying for a student visa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted August 1, 2013 at 04:18 PM Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 at 04:18 PM Yeah, a tourist visa might be easier at this point. But those forms are issued by the university, so Tongji should probably be your first point of call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
