Student Visa for China (X2): KCEL Kunming Application...
Student Visa (X2)
KCEL supports the X2 student visa, valid for up to 180 days. Once enrolled, KCEL issues your School Admission Letter, which you use to apply for the X2 visa at the Chinese consulate in your country.
Application process:
- Complete the KCEL application form and submit your passport front page.
- Pay the $100 USD registration fee, the $60 USD X2 insurance fee, and your program fee in full.
- KCEL issues your School Admission Letter.
- Take your Admission Letter to the Chinese Embassy or Consulate nearest to you and apply for your X2 student visa.
After full payment, your Admission Letter is typically ready within 5–10 business days. You then apply for the X2 visa at your nearest Chinese consulate — processing typically takes 1–4 weeks depending on your country. Allow 6 weeks total before your intended start date.
The $60 school-arranged international student insurance policy covers up to six months. It includes death/disability, accidental injury treatment, outpatient/emergency care, and hospitalization, subject to policy limits and terms. See the coverage details.
You can apply at any Chinese consulate worldwide — not only in your home country. We're happy to answer any questions about the process.
