Hi, I am planning to go study a Master in Beijing on September 2019.

Therefore I need a X1, of course. But I am also planning to travel the world from January to August 2019. I have been checking other related questions but none has solved my issue:

Can I apply for a X1 from a Third Country, when I have no residence permit in that thrid country, but only a tourist visa/permit?

Thank you very much in advance!
