About:China Visa
Convert tourist L visa to Student X1 visa
I want to travel through China for a couple months before studying here. However, because I have to convert my X1 into a residence permit after 30 days, I have to travel on a tourist visa. I have read mixed responses whether it is possible or not at a PSB office without leaving the country. Does anyone have experience with this type of conversion? In addition, if I am going to study in Suzhou, should I go to a PSB office in Suzhou or is it also possible in Shanghai? In case I get rejected, is it possible to go to Hong Kong, or do I have to go back to my home country (Netherlands)?
