China announced on Monday that it would resume issuing visas to students, especially Indians, seeking to pursue education in the country.

Hearty congratulations to #Indian #students! Your patience proves worthwhile. I can really share your enthusiasm and happiness. Welcome to #China!”, Ji Rong, Counselor of the Department of Asian Affairs in China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in a tweet.

The Chinese embassy in India said on its website that it has updated the “Application Process and Material Requirements for Chinese Visas” that will come into effect from August 24 and shared the steps of the new process.

China will issue X1 visas to students who want to pursue higher academic education in the country. These include new and old students and China wants them to return as soon as possible.

Around 23,000 Indian students, most of whom were pursuing medical education, had returned home due to COVID visa restrictions.

India had submitted a list of students after China asked for the names of those wishing to return and resume their studies.
