Sept.1, Chinese Ministry of Public Security made a decision that for foreign students studying in China, organs of the public security will issue them residence permits long enough as the actual terms of study required in China instead of doing the prolongation on yearly basis as did in the past.

Meanwhile, a multiple visa permit will be given in corresponding to their terms of study in China in case they want to leave China temporarily during their periods of study here. For the relatives and kin of foreign students in China who want to apply for keeping company of the students studying here it is possible to get permits each time with a duration of six months so long as they are able to show the official letters from the institutes where the students are studying with no limits of times for the prolongation but not to exceed the valid terms of the students' residence permits.

As known to all, according to the rules as stipulated in relevant regulations foreign students coming to China to study for a period of over six months are required to hold a "X" visa for entering into China and after their entry they must go to get their residence permits in the department governing the entry and exit of the local organs of public security within a time-limit of 30 days. In the work of the past in consideration of the convenience for administration, the duration of residence permits for the students to study in China was generally issued once every year, and by the time of expiration it had to be prolonged if necessary.

As learned, along with the ever deepening of China's reform and opening to the outside world foreign students coming to China for study are increasing year by year. Last year, we registered a total of 43,065 foreign students studying in China, of which those studying in colleges came to 40,586 heads and the rest 2,479 were students or pupils in high or primary schools.
