Questions & Answers on Chinese Embassy in Belgium

Asked by Sandrine mohimont from BELGIUM | Apr. 29, 2021 03:37

Student visa: I'm a Belgian citizen and I have been accepted in an university in China.

Hi,
I'm a Belgian citizen and I have been accepted in an university in China From 1th September.
I know I will need to have the quarantine when I arrive there so I should take the plane on half of August.
I'm not vaccinated because the vaccination system in Belgium is slow.
First question: when will the student visa be open?
Second question : can I already buy a flight ticket? ( with change date and cancelation system if I need to change the date or cancel it because of the situation)

Answered by Stella | May. 11, 2021 02:47

The student visa is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, so you can start the application procedure right now as you need to arrive here as late as in middle August. Yes, you can start to keep an eye on the flight ticket and get prepared to buy it.

The China visa application service center is temporarily closed. You may contact them for the application issues at: brusselscenter
