Visa Requirement
All program participants are required to have a single entry visa for travel to mainland China (People's Republic of China).  Some students might want to consider applying for a multiple entry visa (for personal travel to/from China).  The CIBER office will submit P.R.C. visa applications as a group to the Chinese Consulate in Houston on behalf of our program.  Students who do not submit their visa paperwork to CIBER by posted deadlines will be responsible for obtaining the appropriate visa prior to the program start date.  It is important to note that visa entry requirements can change. For information on what to expect for the visa application process, see program Blackboard organization.

If you are a U.S. citizen, you will not need a visa for visits of less than 90 days to Hong Kong.  Non-U.S. citizens should check with the appropriate consulate for visa requirements as soon as possible regarding requirements for travel to Hong Kong.  If you need a visa for travel to Hong Kong, please apply early!
