If you’re an international student looking to study in China, there are two forms you need to be familiar with: JW201 and JW202. These forms are generated by Chinese universities upon admission acceptance and are essential for the application of a student visa (X-Visa) and the renewal and extension of the student visa after registration in the university.
In this blog post, we’ll explain everything you need to know about JW201 and JW202 forms, including their purpose, differences, and how to obtain them.

JW201 and JW202 are forms generated by Chinese universities for international students who have been accepted into their programs. JW201 is for students who study in China on a full scholarship or partial scholarship, while JW202 is for students who study in China by self-supporting or partial scholarship.
The Chinese Authorized Unit has the jurisdiction to decide which form to issue. It’s important to note that these forms are not for tourists or visitors; they are only for international students who have been accepted into a Chinese university.
