IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
All foreigners who come to China to study for longer than 6 months (i.e. those on an X1 visa) are required to undergo a medical examination either before or after they enter China. You will have to submit relevant documents confirming that you have passed physical examination when you apply for a residence permit in China. You can either do it in your home country or in China. In China, the medical examination will cost about 100 U.S dollars (may differ depending on the city). Your university should help you with this procedure. You must bring the original medical documents with you when you come to China, otherwise you will have to re-do the physical examination in China.
All students will be required to pay medical insurance (400 RMB-about $80 dollars) to their respective universities and for their residence permit (400 RMB-about $80 dollars) every semester.
When you first arrive, it is a good idea to take some cash that you can exchange upon arrival at the airport. You can also change money at a bank (you’ll have to present your passport). Only go through official channels to exchange money or you will almost certainly be cheated.
During past times, the best and most reliable way to get money in China is to use a bank card linked to an international network like Visa or MasterCard. ATMs in major cities accept international bank cards and more and more ATMs in other cities do as well. However, many banks/ATMs have restrictions on how much money you can withdraw at one time or in one day. Therefore, if you need a large amount of cash (e.g. to pay for tuition or accommodation), you must plan ahead. Besides, you should be aware that foreign bank cards usually incur some fee each time money is withdrawn. Otherwise, you can choose to use Western Union or MoneyGram, their service providers could be found in cities and are useful in case of an emergency.
