About:China Student Visa

Passport to expire in 7 months

Hi, I will be travelling to China this coming August using a tourist visa. Though my passport expires on March 2017, it still fits the 6 month validation period upon my entry date. But once I get there, I plan to have my visa change from tourist to student type. If I will be entering China on August 15 and will be processing my student X type on the days after that, will they be accepting my passport? Or is it a must that I must renew my passport first? Thank you 😊

It's possible that they will still accept your passport, but I advise you to renew your passport before doing the application and it's better to directly apply for an X type after you enter. You know, if you want to apply for an X1 type, you will need to apply for a residence permit. When applying for the residence permit, the officer may determine the validity of your residence permit on the remaining validity of your passport.
