Visa Information

Student Visas: Hong Kong

Hong Kong and China are "One Country, Two Systems" since the handover in 1997. Students who are U.S. citizens will need a student visa to study in Hong Kong. Syracuse University will provide the forms for this visa, and students will submit their application to Syracuse. It is not necessary that students submit their passport at the time of application.

Students who participate in the China Seminar will need a tourist visa to travel in mainland China. This is obtained by submitting a passport and visa application to a consulate of the People's Republic of China. Syracuse University will send detailed instructions in a separate mailing to accepted students.
