The receiving body is the Embassy of the People's Republic of China, which checks both the content and the order of certification. Skipping a step usually means the file is returned and the process restarts.

Prepare Passport with the remaining validity the destination requires · Original letter of acceptance from an educational institution · Financial evidence covering the required look-back period · Fully completed application form before the first step.
