During the epidemic in the first half of the year, due to China's temporary measures to stop the entry of foreigners with valid Chinese visas and residence permits. For international students who are now outside China, China's Ministry of Education has asked schools around the country to do online teaching, such as online classes; and to provide academic support for students in their graduating years, assisting them in completing their graduation thesis through online guidance and other means. Meanwhile, international students who wish to suspend, withdraw from or extend their study period will be assisted in the relevant procedures. The Ministry of Education has instructed localities and schools to do the relevant work.
Now that it is August, China has launched a plan for schools to resume classes for the fall semester and related targeted COVID-19 prevention and control measures.
Schools across the country will resume classes on a staggered schedule in the coming weeks. In order to facilitate the start of the fall semester, the Ministry of Education and the National Health Commission on Thursday released the "Guidance on COVID-19 Prevention and Control for Universities, Secondary Schools, Elementary Schools and Kindergartens.
Many international students are currently only able to take online classes and cannot return to China.
Colleges and universities in several cities, including Beijing, welcomed their first students to report or register on Aug. 15.
However, students and faculty members currently overseas will not be allowed to return to campus until further notice. They should present a negative nucleic acid test result when they return to campus.
If you are attending or teaching at a college or university in China but are not currently in China, please wait and check back with your school for further updates.
Most universities in Hebei Province will not allow international students to return to their schools if they are outside of China, and we believe this will be a measure that many universities will take, and international students may not be able to return to study at Chinese universities in 2020.
As China reopens its visa services to more and more countries and regions, more and more foreigners can return to China, and China is now gradually liberalizing the entry of foreigners in order of priority, including those engaged in science and technology, business personnel, we estimate that international students and tourists will be the last ones to be allowed to enter China.
It is recommended that you check the latest visa and immigration policies and prepare the necessary documents before coming to China.
