2. Things to note during the visa interview

1. Students applying for a student visa generally need to communicate with the visa officer in English. However, if the visa officer asks any weird questions, in some cases, explain yourself in Chinese. The answer is also understandable.

2. When answering questions, it is not a test. It only requires authenticity and credibility, so just answer in simple sentences, otherwise you will make mistakes if you talk too much.

3. Dress as much as possible as a student. Students who like to dress up in strange clothes and wear heavy makeup can slightly disguise themselves on the day of the visa.

4. In case of visa rejection, don’t panic, let alone make any extraordinary moves on the spot, and there is no need to argue with the visa officer. Because every move you make at the embassy will be recorded and will affect your next application. If your visa is rejected, understand the reason and just say "Thank you" calmly. Don't try to argue. If you come back and sign again, we will still have a high pass rate.

5. If unfortunately you are checked, friends, don’t panic, just provide the required documents as required. Generally speaking, a normal visa for the purpose of studying will not be refused in the end, and the visa will be issued after a period of check. In this case, the visa time limit may be shorter than the normal five-year time limit, usually one year. You will need to return to your home country to renew your visa later.
