Pre-Arrival Checklist

How can you prepare for your arrival at IMR? Follow the links below to make sure you've got all the information you need:

· Read the following information to learn about getting your Visa to China.

All international students must have a valid China student visa to study in China. Our International Student Office (ISO) will do everything possible to help you with your visa, but ultimately the Chinese government and your local consulate have the authority to issue a visa. It is therefore important to fully understand the requirements of your local consulate and provide all relevant documents when you apply for your visa.

An official invitation letter confirming that you are enrolled to study at USTC is one of the crucial pieces of documentation you will need. In order to produce this letter, please complete the Visa Survey from ISO in USTC as soon as you receive it. Any delay in filling out the Survey may negatively impact whether you will be able to study at USTC.

If you have any questions about visa and immigration procedures, please contact iso@ustc.edu.cn
