All you need to know about the Visa for Internship in China

For an internship in China, you need a valid visa. Applying for a visa to enter China may be associated with hurdles. Until a few years ago, there was the classic internship visa, unfortunately it was abolished. We will show you two possible ways to get a visa for your internship in China.

The student X2 visa (most common variant for internships in China)
The X2 visa is a short-term student visa, which is mainly issued for language courses, training or visiting any other school. As a rule, an X2 student visa is enough for an internship in China, when it is combined with a language course.

For the student X2 Visa, you need the following documents

  • Visa application form (you can download online at the Chinese Embassy)
  • Original passport and a copy (must be valid for more than 6 months after the departure date). Please make sure that your passport has at least two empty pages.
  • Official passport photograph
  • Copy of invitation letter from us, the school or university

The X2 Student Visa is valid for a maximum of 6 months and cannot be renewed in China. When you travel to China with the X2 Visa and you need to stay in China during the whole stay as it is a single-entry visa.

What documents are needed for the X1 visa:

You can either apply for the visa yourself at the Chinese Embassy with all the necessary forms or have it done through an agency. The agency requires fees, but you will be relieved of all administrative work.
