Dear Students:

In view of the rapid spread of COVID-19 across the world, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and National Immigration Administration announced yesterday that, China has decided to temporarily suspend the entry into China by foreign nationals holding visas or residence permits, effective from 0:00am, Mar. 28th, 2020.

For the students currently located overseas, please understand that the suspension is a temporary measure that China is compelled to take in light of the outbreak situation. Your current “X”visa and Residence Permits (study) are still valid. After you receive the campus returning notice, you will be able to enter China to continue your studies with your “X”visa and Residence Permits (study), as long as they are not expired yet at that time. We will help you renew your visa application materials if you need that then.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, the situation and information are rapidly changing at every moment, therefore, students may be confused by the messages flowed from a variety of channels. Hence, please be sure to keep in contact with your class tutors or teachers in order to obtain accurate information from official channels and avoid any misunderstandings or misinformation. 

Please keep staying at your current locations without moving, take care and accompany your families, actively participate in online studies and researches.
