I'm a language student in Shenzhen right now (with a student visa). I'd like to move to Kunming next semester, but so far I haven't found a language school / university where I can enroll.
The Normal University has suspended its course for foreigners. I tried to contact Yunnan University, but received no reply to calls or email. Does anyone have a Wechat contact of their international students office? Or any suggestions for private schools? Thank you so much
As far as I'm aware, the universities will only accept degree level students onto courses, and will only issue/extend visas for those students. I think these new visa rules mean the private schools don't really exist anymore. That certainly seems to be the case in Dali where I am anyway, whether this is a permanent thing or not, or the same in Kunming, nobody seems to know. Finding definitive information is proving difficult.
Thank you for your reply. Since I wrote
this post, I got a reply from a private school, which confirms what you are saying. They are waiting for news from the government, so far they can't accept new students.
I think I'll suck it up and stay in Shenzhen for now.
