Hello,

Please can I request some urgent advice? I am currently in Malaysia, but am planning to begin a 4 month university course in Suzhou in a few days time. I have only been able to obtain a 30-day tourist visa here in Malaysia since my passport is British.

Please can you let me know if I will be able to convert this tourist visa into an F type student visa once I am in China? I am worried that the money I pay for the university course will be wasted if I cannot convert my visa.

Thank you!
