karainbow Posted June 30, 2016 at 12:56 PM Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 at 12:56 PM @tomzuklin, Wow..is it that serious? I thought we can apply for student visa using different passport as long as you attach your old passport with. i also have this problem.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomzuklin Posted June 30, 2016 at 01:12 PM Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 at 01:12 PM @karainbow Might depend on the embassy officer, but by general rule, they only issue visas to passports which numbers match these in the visa application form sent by university. It might be possible to convince the visa officer when your passport is soon to expire or that you lost your previous one, but it's always tricky. I think, judging how Chinese love bureaucracy, that they will need new set of documents from university, but that is just my guess. And again, it falls under the discretion of each embassy, rules are not the same everywhere. Anyway, I wish you luck, hope embassy won't give you much trouble! Please share how it ended up, it will be valuable information for future applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels_touch Posted June 30, 2016 at 01:18 PM Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 at 01:18 PM @ Karainbow I Just cleared it with ELijah. Its Not a problem. Just go to the embassy with both old and new passport. When people at the embassy do digital reading of your new passport, your old passport will pop up from the information to validate that you are still the same person. I am calm now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karainbow Posted June 30, 2016 at 01:29 PM Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 at 01:29 PM @All, Thanks a lot for the info, guys. I just talked with a friend who got CSC scholarship. He told me i should apply for visa using my old passport because the visa i will get lasts for 1 month only which is a temporary visa. He told me that when i arrive school, i need to tell school that i want to apply for resident permit / long term visa using my new passport. Don't know if it makes sense to u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaszloBalogh Posted June 30, 2016 at 05:02 PM Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 at 05:02 PM @Chris Two Times It comes from the First Secretary for Education, Embassy of P.R.China in Hungary. Asked him about what exactly mid-July means, currently waiting for an answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantabile Posted June 30, 2016 at 07:48 PM Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 at 07:48 PM I decided to check my application because of some posts here about the surname and... Damn! I put my first name for my surname. Why would they have a last name and surname section when they are the same thing lol!? On the paper application it is different, for family name I put my last name and given I put my first name. Hopefully this doesn't cause any problems! Unless surname has a different meaning in China than in other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagna Posted June 30, 2016 at 08:02 PM Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 at 08:02 PM @Cantabile Don't worry about that surname/last name thing, the English version of laihua got it mistranslated. What's important is the Chinese version: the first field is 姓氏(family name) and the second one is 名字 (given name, mistranslated to surname). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.carranza Posted July 1, 2016 at 02:32 AM Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 at 02:32 AM Hi, For the people who requires one year of preparations courses before starting their degree, do you happen to know which criteria CSC uses to choose among the 10 chinese universities that are in charge of teaching chinese to degree students. For example I will be taking one year of preparatory courses prior my undergraduate degree in Fudan so I am wondering if they will send me to Nanjing Normal University First, which is the closest one to Fudan.

Lexcorp Posted July 1, 2016 at 07:28 AM Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 at 07:28 AM How come Pakistanis always secure CGS?? Most chinese universities always admit Pakistanis. Is it their GPAs, bilateral ties or what??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuoshuo Posted July 1, 2016 at 08:06 AM Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 at 08:06 AM Lexcorp - probably a bit of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuoshuo Posted July 1, 2016 at 08:17 AM Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 at 08:17 AM josesierrag - no, the results are not sent to universities and embassies at the same time. But by early July, universities and embassies should already have the results. Now whether or not they want to divulge the information to the student is a whole separate matter. My personal opinion though: by now most embassies have the results. The universities receive the results a little bit earlier of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpleasy Posted July 1, 2016 at 08:52 AM Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 at 08:52 AM @shuoshuo Why would they wait with sending out the results if they already have them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karainbow Posted July 1, 2016 at 09:06 AM Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 at 09:06 AM i failed successfully... only 1 won from my country.

Now i can relax...No more waiting and back to try other scholarship to somewhere else. i'm not the type who is easy to be defeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karainbow Posted July 1, 2016 at 09:20 AM Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 at 09:20 AM @simpleasy, I'm from Cambodia.. Maybe the quota for my country is too low. Last year only 1 got accepted too. That's ok. I didnt get affected much. I have other choices. At the moment i'm deciding what path to choose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
