The Chinese Embassy in India

 

The Chinese Embassy in India updated "Application Procedures and Material Requirements of China Visa," with 10 categories of visas, including business, family visit and student visas, which are open for applications from Wednesday, according to a notice released by the embassy. 

 

Returning students are required to follow China's epidemic prevention and control policies and will have to be put in quarantine when they arrive in the country. The expenses for quarantine will be paid by the students themselves. Vaccination certificates are required to be submitted first. If all conditions are met, the students would be given a letter of return, a mandatory document for visa application.


The influx of international students to China in the latter half of the year could be high.

Since the new anti-COVID playbook was adopted in late June, the quarantine period for international arrivals was shortened to 10 days - seven days of centralized quarantine and three days of home quarantine, from previous 21 days.
