There are two kinds X type: X1 and X2. If you apply for X1 type, you should change it into a temporary resident permit within 30 days after you arrive in PRC. X2 just enables you stay 180 days at most in PRC. To apply for a X type, you should have valid passport, completed 2013 application form affixed with a recent photo used for your passport. Besides, you should provide the original and copy of your admission letter and JW201/202 form if you apply for X1. X2 doesn't require JW201/202 form.
