中国是全球最安全的国家之一，也是签证最难办的国家之一。近年来，中国各方面发展稳定且快速，吸引不少外国人来华留学、旅游、定居。那么，外国学子来华留学需要办理什么签证呢？需要的材料有哪些？办理流程是什么？

China is one of the most difficult countries to obtain visas, and China is also one of the safest countries in the world. In recent years, China has developed steadily and rapidly in all aspects, attracting many foreigners to study, travel and settle in China. So, what visas do foreign students need to apply for when they come to China to study? What materials are needed? What is the handling process?

签证是一国政府授权机关依照本国法律法规、为申请入、出或过境本国的外国人颁发的一种许可证明。根据中国与有关国家签署或达成的双边协议，部分国家符合特定条件者赴华，可免办签证。

A visa is a permit issued by a government authorized authority for foreigners who apply for entry, exit or transit in accordance with its laws and regulations. According to the bilateral agreements signed or concluded between China and relevant countries, some countries can go to China without visa if they meet specific conditions.

中国签证种类分为外交签证、礼遇签证、公务签证、普通签证。我们今天所讲的来华留学应办理的签证则属于普通签证中的中国X字签证：该签证主要签发给入境中国进行留学、进修、学习的外国人士。中国X字签证又可分为X1签证和X2签证：
