Hello, I’m a Chinese national applying for an EDU visa at the Chinese embassy in Beijing. I just have a couple questions, I hope someone can help me out.
1. I’m required to have a minimum of 50,000rmb in my bank account. This isn’t a problem however someone told me that I need to have that amount in my account two months prior to applying for the visa or I need to have the money frozen in my account for two months. Can anyone shed some light as to whether or not this is true? Am I able to just show a bank statement with 50,000rmb. This would be a lot easier for me to do.
1. I’ve heard the wait time is anywhere between one week and two months. I will receive my paper work the beginning of September and am hoping to book my plane ticket for October 5th as that is when my apartment lease is up. Am I able to give a bribe to the embassy worker to speed up the process? When I applied for a tourist visa for Thailand a few months ago I went through an agent and they said they were able to expedite the application. I’m wondering if this is a possibility.
If anyone is able to help me out with these questions I’d greatly appreciate it.
