Usually,a Chinese visa is good for 90 days from the date of issue, which means, you can enter China Within 90 days (please note the time difference between China and the U.S.); and duration of stay is 30 days (It is written in the visa label), which means from the date of your entrance, you can stay in China for 30 days. So if you are going to China on June 1, and the visa will expire on June 10. You can still stay in China for 30 days.

This form is strictly for those who will study in China over 1 year. If you are to stay in China for less than one year, you don’t have to see a doctor to fill it out.
