The chinese student visa morocco process is straightforward when documents are complete—but small errors (wrong form version, missing stamp, expired medical report) cause delays. This guide walks Moroccan applicants through each step for 2026.

X1 vs X2: which visa do you need?

X1 is for degree students staying longer than 180 days; you will convert to a residence permit in China after arrival. X2 covers shorter exchanges or language programs under 180 days.

• X2: Short courses, some summer programs, brief research visits
• Your admission letter states the recommended visa category

2. Visa application form (online + printed)
3. Recent passport photos meeting embassy specs
4. Admission Notice from Chinese university
5. JW201/JW202 or electronic DQ form (for scholarship students)
6. Physical examination record (within required validity window)
7. Proof of finances or scholarship award letter
8. Previous Chinese visa or travel history (if applicable)
