Forums > Living in Kunming > Yunnan University Contact 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.
Forums > Living in Kunming > No more student visas for over 60's Maybe. They audited the Dali schools about a year and a half ago, I think two got through and one didn't so can still issue visas (this year anyway, mine was renewed about a month ago). Not sure if anything additional is going to happen later this year or if it's all just rumor.
Forums > Living in Kunming > No more student visas for over 60's There's a rumor in Dali that they're going to stop issuing student visas except for the university. Not sure how true it is, could just be Dali whispers.
