Q: I'm currently in Shanghai on an X2 student visa. My visa is single-entry, and I have already used that entry. I would like to apply for an additional entry.

Since I may need to travel soon after receiving the new visa, could you please advise what documents or steps I need to take to apply for an additional entry?

 

A: If you need to replace your X2 visa with a new single-entry or double-entry visa, please ask your school to issue an application letter.

You can apply with the school's letter, your admission notice, and the JW/DQ form.
