二、基本原则、办理范围与责任说明返回目录
学生应主动了解并遵守中国出入境管理规定及学校国际学生报到注册、签证、居留证件管理要求。学生应及时、真实、完整提交相关材料，按要求完成缴费、住宿登记、体检验证、证件核查、证件申请、延期、变更、备案等事项，并保持电话、微信、邮箱等联系方式畅通。
本文件后文涉及未按时报到注册、未及时提交材料、未按要求办理住宿登记、体检验证、证件延期、护照变更、学籍状态变化、逾期停留或居留、非法就业，以及其他不符合中国法律法规或学校管理要求的情形，均适用本部分要求。学生未按要求办理相关手续的，可能导致证件逾期、申请延误、无法注册、无法继续学习、影响今后来华签证、停留或居留申请等后果；情节涉及违法违规的，还可能依法受到警告、罚款、拘留、限期出境、遣送出境、驱逐出境等处理。学校将在职责范围内提供必要指导，但相关法律后果、办理延误及个人损失由学生依法依规自行承担。后文如无特别提示，不再重复责任说明。
（一）学习类签证、居留证件及学校办理范围
“学习类签证及居留证件”主要包括：
1. X1签证；
2. X2签证；
3. 学习类居留许可。
其中，X1/X2签证由中国驻外使领馆签发；学习类居留许可由中国境内出入境管理部门签发。
国际学生在校学习期间，应持有与其在校学习身份相符的学习类签证或学习类居留许可。学校根据学生报到注册、在校学习、学籍状态及证件办理要求，出具或盖章学习类签证、学习类居留许可相关申请材料。
学生因休学、退学、转学、取消入学资格、取消学籍等原因，不再以在校学习身份继续学习且需办理停留证件的，学校可根据实际情况及出入境管理部门要求，出具或盖章办理停留证件所需的相关材料。
除学习类签证、学习类居留许可及上述特殊情形下停留证件相关材料外，其他类型签证、居留证件或因学生个人原因产生的其他证件事项，原则上不属于学校办理范围。学生应根据本人实际事由自行向出入境管理部门或相关单位咨询办理；学校可在职责范围内提供必要说明。
（二）学校认可的报到注册证件
学校仅接受以下证件作为国际学生办理完成报到注册的有效证件依据：
1. 使用我校材料申请取得的X1签证；
2. 使用我校材料申请取得的X2签证；
3. 使用我校材料办理的学习类居留许可；
4. 外国人永久居留身份证。
“我校材料”指由北京外国语大学出具或确认的录取通知书、DQ表、JW201/JW202表、签证申请相关证明材料等。
使用免签、旅游签证或其他非学习类签证入境的学生，以及持非我校材料办理的X1签证、X2签证、学习类居留许可或其他居留证件来校报到的国际学生，均不符合我校国际学生正常报到注册证件要求。学校在完成相关证件核查并确认符合要求前，不予办理完成注册。
上述学生应第一时间联系签证事务人员，提交当前护照、签证/居留许可、入境章、录取材料等信息。学校将根据学生证件类型、入境时间、学习期限及出入境管理部门要求，告知其是否需离境重新申请学习签证、是否可申请变更或是否需办理其他手续。最终处理方式以出入境管理部门要求为准。
（三）录取、报到注册与在校学习身份说明
国际学生取得录取通知书，表示其获得按照学校要求办理报到注册手续的资格，但不等同于已经完成注册，也不等同于已经正式取得在校学习身份。学生须按照学校规定完成报到注册相关环节后，方可视为完成注册。
相关报到注册环节包括：入学资格核验、个人信息登记、保险办理、住宿安排或住宿信息登记、费用缴纳或费用状态确认、奖学金或交流项目身份确认、证件核查及签证、居留证件相关手续办理等。
学生仅取得录取通知书、已到校、已联系学院或已进入部分报到环节，并不表示已经完成注册。学生未按学校要求完成相应报到注册环节，或经学校审核暂不符合签证、居留证件办理要求的，学校可暂停办理相关手续，直至其符合报到注册及相关证件办理要求。相关事项按照本文件第二部分及出入境管理部门要求处理。
（四）材料提交、校内审核与出入境管理部门受理说明
学生向签证事务人员提交材料、发送电子材料、咨询办理方式、表达办理意愿，或进入校内审核流程，不等于已经向出入境管理部门提交申请，也不等于已经被出入境管理部门受理。
是否按期提交申请，以出入境管理部门实际受理或学校统一递交安排为准。学生应充分预留学校审核、缴费核验、材料准备、预约、补充材料及出入境审批时间。
学校一般在材料齐全、费用状态确认无误后启动审核。因材料补正、缴费核验、集中办理安排、节假日、出入境预约名额等原因，实际办理时间可能延长。
（五）签证及居留证件期限说明
国际学生申请签证、停留证件或居留证件时，留学生办公室将根据学生学习期限、缴费期限、学籍状态、在校表现、出勤情况、住宿登记情况、历史签证记录及学校管理规定等因素审核后提出申请意见。
学校提出的申请意见不等于最终审批结果。签证种类、入境次数、有效期、停留期限及居留许可期限，均以出入境管理部门审批结果为准。
如学生存在不良签证记录、逾期记录、违法违规记录、出勤情况较差、学籍状态异常、缴费期限较短或其他不符合管理要求的情况，出入境管理部门可能批准较短期限，或者不予批准相关申请。
II. Basic Principles, Scope of Services, and Responsibility StatementBack to Contents
Students shall take the initiative to understand and comply with China’s exit and entry administration regulations, as well as the University’s requirements for international student registration, visas, and residence permits. Students shall submit relevant materials in a timely, truthful, and complete manner; complete payment, accommodation registration, physical examination and verification, document verification, document application, extension, change, and filing procedures as required; and keep their phone, WeChat, email, and other contact channels accessible.
The requirements in this section apply to all circumstances described later in this Guide, including but not limited to failure to register on time, failure to submit materials in time, failure to complete accommodation registration as required, failure to complete physical examination and verification, failure to extend documents, passport replacement, change of student status, overstaying the permitted duration of stay or residence, illegal employment, and other circumstances that do not comply with Chinese laws and regulations or University administrative requirements. Failure to complete relevant procedures as required may result in document expiration, application delay, inability to register, inability to continue study, or adverse impact on future visa, stay, or residence applications in China. Where the circumstances involve violations of laws or regulations, the student may also be subject to warning, fine, detention, ordered exit within time limit, repatriation, deportation, or other handling measures in accordance with law. The University will provide necessary guidance within the scope of its responsibilities; however, the relevant legal consequences, processing delays, and personal losses shall be borne by the student in accordance with laws and regulations. Unless otherwise specified below, responsibility statements will not be repeated in later sections.
(I) Study Visas, Residence Permits, and Scope of University Services
“Study visas and residence permits” mainly include:
1. X1 visa;
2. X2 visa;
3. Residence permit for study.
Among them, X1/X2 visas are issued by Chinese embassies or consulates abroad; residence permits for study are issued by exit and entry administration authorities within China.
During their study at the University, international students shall hold a study visa or residence permit for study that corresponds to their student status at the University. Based on students’ registration, study status, student status, and document application requirements, the University may issue or stamp relevant application materials for study visas and residence permits for study.
Where a student no longer continues study as a registered student due to suspension, withdrawal, transfer, cancellation of admission qualification, cancellation of student status, or other reasons, and needs to apply for a stay permit, the University may, based on the actual circumstances and the requirements of the exit and entry administration authorities, issue or stamp relevant materials required for the application for a stay permit.
Except for study visas, residence permits for study, and relevant materials for stay permits under the special circumstances described above, other types of visas or residence permits, or other document matters arising from students’ personal reasons, are in principle outside the scope of services handled by the University. Students shall consult and handle such matters with the exit and entry administration authorities or relevant institutions according to their actual purposes; the University may provide necessary explanations within the scope of its responsibilities.
(II) Documents Recognized by the University for Registration
The University only accepts the following documents as valid document bases for international students to complete registration:
1. X1 visa obtained with BFSU materials;
2. X2 visa obtained with BFSU materials;
3. Residence permit for study obtained with BFSU materials;
4. Foreign Permanent Resident ID Card.
“BFSU materials” refer to the admission notice, DQ form, JW201/JW202 form, visa application-related certification materials, and other documents issued or confirmed by Beijing Foreign Studies University.
Students who enter China under visa exemption, with a tourist visa, or with other non-study visas, as well as international students who come to the University with an X1 visa, X2 visa, residence permit for study, or other residence permit obtained with materials not issued or confirmed by BFSU, do not meet the University’s normal document requirements for international student registration. The University will not complete registration before the relevant documents have been verified and confirmed as meeting the requirements.
The above-mentioned students shall contact the visa affairs personnel immediately and submit information including their current passport, visa/residence permit, entry stamp, and admission materials. The University will, based on the student’s document type, date of entry, study duration, and the requirements of the exit and entry administration authorities, inform the student whether they need to leave China and reapply for a study visa, whether a change application may be possible, or whether other procedures need to be completed. The final handling method shall be subject to the requirements of the exit and entry administration authorities.
(III) Admission, Registration, and Student Status
Obtaining an admission notice means that an international student is qualified to complete registration procedures in accordance with University requirements. It does not mean that the student has completed registration, nor does it mean that the student has formally obtained registered student status at the University. A student shall be deemed to have completed registration only after completing the required registration procedures in accordance with University regulations.
Relevant registration procedures include verification of admission qualification, personal information registration, insurance enrollment, accommodation arrangement or accommodation information registration, payment or confirmation of payment status, confirmation of scholarship or exchange program status, document verification, and visa/residence permit-related procedures.
A student who has only obtained an admission notice, arrived on campus, contacted the school or department, or entered part of the registration process shall not be deemed to have completed registration. If a student fails to complete the required registration procedures, or if the University determines upon review that the student does not yet meet the requirements for visa or residence permit processing, the University may suspend the relevant procedures until the student meets the requirements for registration and related document processing. Relevant matters shall be handled in accordance with Section II of this Guide and the requirements of the exit and entry administration authorities.
(IV) Submission of Materials, Internal Review, and Acceptance by the Exit and Entry Administration Authorities
A student’s submission of materials to the visa affairs personnel, sending of electronic materials, inquiry about application methods, expression of intent to apply, or entry into the University’s internal review process does not mean that an application has been submitted to the exit and entry administration authorities, nor does it mean that the application has been accepted by the exit and entry administration authorities.
Whether an application has been submitted on time shall be determined by the actual acceptance by the exit and entry administration authorities or the University’s unified submission arrangement. Students shall allow sufficient time for University review, payment verification, material preparation, appointment booking, material supplementation, and approval by the exit and entry administration authorities.
The University generally starts review after all materials are complete and the payment status has been confirmed as correct. The actual processing time may be extended due to material supplementation, payment verification, centralized processing arrangements, holidays, limited appointment slots at the exit and entry administration authorities, or other reasons.
(V) Validity Periods of Visas and Residence Permits
When an international student applies for a visa, stay permit, or residence permit, the Overseas Students Affairs Office will review the application and provide an application opinion based on factors such as the student’s study duration, payment period, student status, performance at the University, attendance, accommodation registration, visa history, and University administrative requirements.
The University’s application opinion is not the final approval result. The visa type, number of entries, validity period, duration of stay, and validity period of the residence permit shall be subject to the approval result of the exit and entry administration authorities.
If a student has an adverse visa record, overstay record, record of violations of laws or regulations, poor attendance, abnormal student status, a short payment period, or other circumstances that do not meet administrative requirements, the exit and entry administration authorities may approve a shorter period or refuse to approve the relevant application.
三、入境前准备返回目录
（一）申请学习签证
收到学校签证材料后，请及时向中国驻所在国使领馆申请学习签证。
由于各国政策不同，具体材料要求、办理时长及费用，请咨询中国驻所在国使领馆。

（三）X2签证

持X2签证入境且学习期限不超过180天的学生，原则上不办理学习类居留许可。如因学习期限、项目安排或出入境管理部门要求发生变化，应及时联系签证事务人员咨询处理方式。
X2签证学生如因特殊原因确需在华期间增加出入境次数（申请再入境签证），请先查看学校相关通知或说明后联系签证事务人员，并以签证事务人员的最新说明为准。
（四）护照有效期提醒
护照有效期不足六个月的，可能影响签证或居留证件办理。请学生在申请签证、入境及办理居留许可前，提前检查本人护照有效期。
III. Preparations Before EntryBack to Contents
(I) Applying for a Study Visa
After receiving the visa materials issued by the University, please apply for a study visa at the Chinese embassy or consulate in your country in a timely manner.

(III) X2 Visa
The X2 visa applies to international students whose study duration does not exceed 180 days.
Students entering China with an X2 visa and whose study duration does not exceed 180 days generally do not apply for a residence permit for study. If there are changes due to study duration, program arrangements, or requirements of the exit and entry administration authorities, the student shall contact the visa affairs personnel in a timely manner to inquire about the handling method.
If an X2 visa student needs to increase the number of entries and exits during their stay in China for special reasons, namely to apply for a re-entry visa, the student shall first check the relevant University notices or instructions and then contact the visa affairs personnel. The latest explanation of the visa affairs personnel shall prevail.
(IV) Passport Validity Reminder
A passport with a validity period of less than six months may affect visa or residence permit processing. Students are requested to check the validity of their passports in advance before applying for a visa, entering China, or applying for a residence permit.

请按照录取通知书或学校通知规定时间入境并到校报到。
学生应按学校要求完成学费、保险费、住宿费等相关费用缴纳，或完成奖学金、费用减免、交流项目等费用状态确认。
费用缴纳或费用状态确认是学校继续办理签证、居留证件相关手续的重要前提。未按要求完成相关手续的，学校将按照本文件第二部分相关规定处理。
（三）住宿登记
根据中国法律规定，外国人在中国境内住宿应依法办理住宿登记。入住旅馆的，由旅馆按规定办理住宿登记；在旅馆以外住所居住或住宿的，应在入住后24小时内由本人或留宿人向居住地公安机关办理登记。

（四）体检及验证
持X1签证入境的学生，一般需办理体检手续。
学校会统一安排车辆，组织学生按通知时间前往北京市国际旅行卫生保健中心体检。请务必按照签证事务人员通知时间参加。
如因特殊情况无法参加学校统一体检，学生须第一时间联系签证事务人员说明情况，并按照签证事务人员指导尽快重新预约体检或验证。经重新预约后，学生本人应按要求自行前往办理。
体检结果一般需4至6个工作日出具。完成体检后取得《境外人员体格检查记录验证证明》，该证明是申请学习类居留许可的重要材料。

IV. Entry, Document Verification, and RegistrationBack to Contents
(I) Basic Registration Process
After arriving at the University, international students generally need to complete the following registration procedures in accordance with University notices:
1. Verify personal information;
2. Enroll in insurance;
3. Arrange accommodation or register accommodation information;
4. Obtain the payment form;

8. Complete registration;
9. New students apply for student ID cards and campus cards.
The specific procedures, order, locations, and requirements shall be subject to the University’s registration notice for the relevant period.
Document verification and visa/residence permit-related procedures are important parts of registration. For students holding visas or residence permits obtained with materials not issued or confirmed by BFSU, or students entering China under visa exemption, with a tourist visa, or with other non-study visas, the registration process will be suspended at the relevant document verification stage. Before the University has reviewed and confirmed that the student’s documents meet the registration requirements, the student may not continue subsequent registration procedures. The student shall contact the visa affairs personnel immediately, explain their current visa or residence permit situation, and handle the matter in accordance with Section II of this Guide and the guidance of the visa affairs personnel.
(II) Timely Registration and Payment Requirements
Please enter China and report to the University for registration at the time specified in the admission notice or University notice.
Students shall complete payment of tuition, insurance premium, accommodation fee, and other relevant fees as required by the University, or complete confirmation of scholarship, fee waiver, exchange program, or other payment status.
Completion of payment or confirmation of payment status is an important prerequisite for the University to continue visa and residence permit-related procedures. If a student fails to complete the relevant procedures as required, the University will handle the matter in accordance with the relevant provisions of Section II of this Guide.
(III) Accommodation Registration
According to Chinese law, foreigners staying in China shall complete accommodation registration in accordance with law. Those staying in hotels shall have their accommodation registered by the hotel in accordance with regulations. Those residing or staying in places other than hotels shall, within 24 hours after check-in, have the accommodation registered with the local public security organ by themselves or by the host.
1. On-campus accommodation: After moving into a University dormitory, the student shall go in person to the front desk of the relevant building, present the passport and other documents, and complete temporary accommodation registration under the guidance of the front desk staff.
2. Off-campus accommodation: International students living off campus shall, within 24 hours after moving in, consult and complete the Registration Form of Temporary Accommodation at the local police station and file the information with the visa affairs personnel in a timely manner.
International students living off campus shall present the Registration Form of Temporary Accommodation during registration at the beginning of the semester and provide the landlord’s name and phone number. If staying in a hotel, the student shall provide the hotel booking, hotel contact person, and phone number.
International students shall complete accommodation registration again and file the information again with the visa affairs personnel after changing accommodation address, changing passport, changing visa, or changing residence permit.
Failure to complete accommodation registration as required may result in penalties imposed by the public security organ in accordance with law. Students shall ensure that the accommodation registration and relevant information submitted are truthful, accurate, complete, and valid. False, incomplete, or untimely updated information may affect the processing progress of visas, stay permits, residence permits, and registration.
(IV) Physical Examination and Verification
Students entering China with an X1 visa generally need to complete physical examination procedures.
The University will arrange vehicles and organize students to go to the Beijing International Travel Healthcare Center for physical examination at the notified time. Students must attend at the time notified by the visa affairs personnel.
If a student is unable to attend the University-arranged physical examination due to special circumstances, the student shall contact the visa affairs personnel immediately to explain the situation and, under the guidance of the visa affairs personnel, make a new appointment for physical examination or verification as soon as possible. After the new appointment is made, the student shall go in person as required.
Physical examination results are generally issued within 4 to 6 working days. After completing the physical examination, the student will obtain the Verification Certificate of Physical Examination Record for Foreigners, which is an important document for applying for a residence permit for study.
Materials required for physical examination:
1. Original passport;
2. One two-inch white-background photo;
3. Copy of admission notice;
4. Copy of JW201 or JW202 form.
Special reminder: Students who receive a physical examination or verification notice from the visa affairs personnel shall go to the Beijing International Travel Healthcare Center as notified to complete the relevant procedures. Regardless of whether the student has completed a physical examination abroad, the student must go to the Healthcare Center for physical examination or verification and obtain the health certificate issued by the Center for the application for a residence permit for study.
Students who have completed a physical examination abroad and bring the original physical examination report issued by a hospital in their home country, in Chinese or English, may take the relevant materials to the Beijing International Travel Healthcare Center for verification. If the verification meets the requirements, the Center will issue the health certificate required for applying for a residence permit for study.
Students who have not completed a physical examination abroad, or who have completed a physical examination abroad but do not bring the original physical examination report, shall undergo an on-site physical examination as required by the Beijing International Travel Healthcare Center. After the physical examination is completed, the Center will issue the health certificate required for applying for a residence permit for study based on the examination results.
A student who has not obtained the health certificate issued by the Beijing International Travel Healthcare Center cannot apply for a residence permit for study.

X. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)Back to Contents
1. Can I use visa exemption, a tourist visa, or another non-study visa to complete admission registration?
No. Students entering China under visa exemption, with a tourist visa, or with other non-study visas do not meet the University’s normal document requirements for international student registration. Before obtaining a study visa or residence permit that meets the University’s registration requirements, the University will not complete registration. Please refer to Sections II and IV of this Guide for specific requirements.
2. Does receiving an admission notice mean that I have completed registration and that the University must process my visa or residence permit?
No. The admission notice only means that the student is qualified to complete registration procedures as required by the University. It does not mean that the student has completed registration, nor does it mean that the student has formally obtained registered student status. The student shall complete information verification, payment or payment status confirmation, insurance enrollment, accommodation registration, document verification, and visa/residence permit-related procedures as required by the University before being deemed to have completed registration. Please refer to Sections II and IV of this Guide for specific requirements.
3. What is the difference between an X1 visa and an X2 visa?
The X1 visa applies to students whose study duration exceeds 180 days. After entering China with an X1 visa, the student must apply for a residence permit for study with the exit and entry administration authorities within 30 days from the date of entry and submit relevant application materials in accordance with the requirements of the University and the exit and entry administration authorities.
The X2 visa applies to students whose study duration does not exceed 180 days. Students entering China with an X2 visa and whose study duration does not exceed 180 days generally do not apply for a residence permit for study. If there are changes due to study duration, program arrangements, or requirements of the exit and entry administration authorities, the student shall contact the visa affairs personnel in a timely manner to inquire about the handling method.
4. What should I do if I have already entered China under visa exemption, with a tourist visa, or with documents obtained using non-BFSU materials?
Please contact the visa affairs personnel immediately and submit information including your current passport, visa/residence permit, entry stamp, and admission materials. The University will inform you of the follow-up handling method based on your document type, date of entry, study duration, and the requirements of the exit and entry administration authorities. The final handling method shall be subject to the requirements of the exit and entry administration authorities.
5. What should I do if I miss the University-arranged physical examination or interview?
Please contact the visa affairs personnel immediately to explain the situation and, under the guidance of the visa affairs personnel, make a new appointment for physical examination or interview. The student may need to go in person to the Beijing International Travel Healthcare Center or the exit and entry administration authority as required.
6. Do I need to complete accommodation registration again if I change my accommodation address?
Yes. International students shall complete accommodation registration again and file the information again with the visa affairs personnel after changing accommodation address, changing passport, changing visa, or changing residence permit.
7. Can international students do part-time work, internships, or jobs?

Please refer to Section VII of this Guide for specific requirements.
8. Can family members of students apply for accompanying study or family visit visas through the University?
Beijing Foreign Studies University currently provides visa support only for international students studying in China.

If family members need to come to China, they shall consult and apply for the corresponding visa or document with the Chinese embassy or consulate abroad or the exit and entry administration authorities according to their actual purpose of coming to China.
9. What should I do if my passport is retained during visa or residence permit processing?

Completion of payment or confirmation of payment status is an important prerequisite for the University to continue visa and residence permit-related procedures.
11. Is the validity period of a visa or residence permit decided by the University?
The University will provide an application opinion based on factors such as the student’s study duration, payment period, student status, performance at the University, attendance, accommodation registration, visa history, and University administrative requirements. The final visa type, number of entries, validity period, duration of stay, and validity period of the residence permit shall be subject to the approval result of the exit and entry administration authorities.
12. Can I apply for a visa or residence permit if my passport is about to expire?
A passport with a validity period of less than six months may affect visa or residence permit processing.
