If you cannot provide an invitation letter, then round-trip flight tickets and hotel orders should be provided.

A student visa usually contains a single entry, costing USD50. After entering, one needs to change it to a resident permit, which allows the holder to enter and exit China unlimitedly within the validity.

Sample Invitation letter
Dear,
Can you help me with an invitation template to be given to my business partner in China as a guide. The one he sent me was not addressed to anyone.

Again, do I have to pay for my round trip tickets before applying for the visa?

The invitation letter should include:
a. Information on the applicant, including full name, gender, and date of birth.
b. Information on the planned visit, including arrival and departure dates, place(s) of visit.
c. Information on the inviter, including name, contact number, address, official stamp, and signature of the legal representative of the entity or the inviting individual.

If you have an invitation letter, generally flight ticket will not be required. Good luck~

What is the steps to cancel my x1 visa and apply for another visa(x1)?
Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek guidance and assistance regarding my Chinese X1 visa application, which I have already applied for at the Chinese Embassy in Ghana.

Recently, I have received an admission offer from a different institution in China, and I now wish to cancel my current X1 visa application to apply for a new visa under the sponsorship of the new institution. I understand the importance of adhering to the proper procedures, and I want to ensure that everything is handled correctly.

Could you kindly provide me with information on the steps I need to take to cancel the X1 visa application and apply for a new visa with the updated institution's details? Additionally, I would appreciate any guidance on the required documents and the necessary process to make this change.

Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving your valuable guidance so that I can proceed with the appropriate steps as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely,
Owusu Sekyere.

As I know, you cannot cancel an application once it is submitted. It is suggested to contact the embassy directly for help.
