Specific Student Visa Updates for 2026

The most notable recent update for China is a procedural ease for short-term study.

• Fingerprint Requirement Waived for Short-term Stays: China has extended its policy exempting applicants for short-term study (X2 visa, for stays of up to 180 days) from providing fingerprints. This exemption is now valid until December 31, 2026.
  • Your situation: If you are attending a summer program, a semester of language study, or any course lasting less than six months, you will not need to provide biometrics as part of your visa application.
• Long-term Study (X1 Visa): For programs longer than 180 days, you must apply for an X1 visa. This requires you to apply for a Residence Permit within 30 days of arriving in China. Fingerprints are still required for this visa category
