Title: Tunisia Person Wants to Come Back To China; Any Way To Do So?
Post by: Ivyman on October 21, 2021, 06:12:04 PM
Hello Everyone,

1.  A few years ago, I was romantically serious with a college-age woman from Tunisia (North Africa).

2.  About three years ago, a boss of mine at North China University of Technology (北方工业大学) got her into an English speaking program.  I paid for her tuition, student visa, living costs, etc.

3.  When COVID hit, her family convinced her to come back to Tunisia.  That was a bad move, as she was stuck at home and bored out of her mind.

4.  She is finishing up her bachelor's at NCUT, maybe first in her cohort.  She is doing the studying from Africa, done online.

5.  She wants to come back to China, either as a student or worker.

6.  Can any explain clearly what her options are:

a.  If she gets into an English speaking masters or MBA program, such as Renmin, can she have a way to come back?

b.  Even though she is from a non-native country, any way to get a job offer and come over, on a PU letter?

c.  Can she come on a different way, such as being a tourist or seeing family?

7.  Anything else I should think about?  Or, should I realize she cannot come back to China, no matter what, for years and years?

Tourism is not going to be easy.

The simplest thing would probably be as a student.  She needs to visit the website the Chinese Embassy in Tunisia.  Right now, all the rules are subject to adjustment and whatever is on the nearest embassy or consulate is what anyone wanting to go to China needs to do (I'm personally rechecking the Los Angeles Consulate website to make sure I didn't miss any details so I can get back to China later this week).

Thanks.  I will email you, so we can talk privately.

This is optimistic news.

Is the consulate in Los Angeles currently processing working visas and or tourist visas?

I was only checking on return requirements for someone in possession of a visa.

I have heard that some work visas are being processed.  You'll want to check the Consulate website for exact details.
