Application procedure china

Do I have to pay the full amount at once?

The applicant has an option of paying 80% of the service amount, afterwards write and sign a letter of responsibility stating that will be able to pay the amount left in a specific period of time settled by the agent and the applicant.

 

How Do I confirm that I have been accepted by the University and won the scholarship before making the payment?

Two tasks for you on the Airplane to China:

On the airplane to China, you can accomplish the following two tasks to help you precede the necessary procedures after landing better.

Task One: Please fill the Arrival yellow Form given to you on the plane and keep it handy. You have to submit it to the immigration counter when you reach the first airport. Complete the address portion with that of your UNIVERSITY NAME.

Task Two: Make one or two Chinese friends beside you on your plane and when your mobile roaming service is not working after landing on the airport making buying a sim card your first priority, you can turn to them for help. (Chinese people are very friendly and helpful. Don’t be shy when you talk to them).

 

Upon arrival we advise you to:

  • Exchange your money on the airport instead of taking it to the city where it will be difficult because of the language barrier and longer process.

  • Buy a local SIM card and contact your AREC agent immediately to assist you while talking to any personnel needed.

  • Air-port pick up service by an AREC agent is an extra service settled before the applicant’s trip to china.
