After approval, you can go abroad to the public security organ.

Other people who apply for studying abroad at their own expense generally do not need to apply for studying abroad, but they must submit relevant supporting materials, such as economic guarantee and admission notice.

Second, choose schools and majors:

1, school selection steps:

When choosing the school you want to attend, you can follow the following steps:

(1) Consult relevant professional literature and academic newspapers and periodicals, understand the present situation and development of your major or scientific research in foreign universities or scientific research institutions, find professors or scientific research collaborators who are suitable for your major, and communicate with them.

(2) Go to the study abroad consulting office (such as our company), science and technology information center, major libraries and the Internet to consult information about institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutions, and initially determine a list of colleges and universities to apply for.

(3) Considering various factors that should be paid attention to when choosing a school, after screening, we finally determine 10 ~ 15 colleges and universities, and then contact them respectively.

2. Those who apply for studying abroad at their own expense should pay attention to:

(1) Those who want to apply for studying abroad at their own expense should determine the country of study according to the foreign language they have learned. At the same time, before choosing a school, it is best to make an assessment of your major and foreign language level, and have an objective estimate of your actual situation to ensure that you choose the right country and school.

(2) Pay attention to the education quality, major setting, admission requirements, admission standards and competition of the selected schools, so as to avoid bringing yourself a lot of troubles in the future.

(3) Pay attention to whether the selected schools and majors have been evaluated and recognized by the relevant state authorities. Understand whether the teaching, scientific research level and major setting of the school are similar to their own majors or research, and avoid the mismatch of majors.

(4) Understand the admission requirements, admission standards, competition and application deadline of the school, and objectively estimate whether you meet the admission standards and conditions of the school and have strong competitiveness;

Universities in many countries have specific requirements for foreign students. For example, many universities in the United States require applicants to pay a small application fee, and a few religious schools prohibit students from smoking and drinking. So be sure to think carefully before starting contact.

(5) Understand the various expenses and grants of the school. Pay attention to the conditions and requirements for applying for a grant and see if you can get a grant from this school. Generally speaking, you should choose those schools that are eligible for financial aid.

Pay attention to whether you can adapt to the climate and customs of the school. It's best not to be too different from the situation in your original living area. Applicants should consider the natural environment and economic factors according to their hobbies of geographical location, climate and school size when choosing a school.

(6) Pay attention to the application deadline of the contact school. Many schools do not apply for admission after the application date. In addition, a certain amount of advance payment should be prepared when contacting to prevent accidental delay in admission application.

Third, contact the institutions that want to study abroad.

Students who study abroad at their own expense must ensure that they can get enough financial resources. Tuition, living expenses, accommodation and other expenses abroad are increasing year by year, and applicants for studying abroad must prove that they have enough ability to pay these expenses. The sources of income include self-raised funds, relatives and friends' support, friends' guarantee, scholarships, work-study programs, etc.

Among them, adequate economic security is the common requirement of all countries. Many countries stipulate the qualifications and amount of economic guarantors, and often raise the standards. Of course, if you can get higher scholarships and grants to study in the United States and Canada, you don't need financial guarantee.

Financial security

Economic guarantee refers to the notarized and effective financial aid documents provided by relevant funding units or individuals for overseas students. Those who have no proof of financial guarantee and no funding from the other school will generally not be admitted to the other school.

Countries have different requirements for financial guarantee certification materials for students applying for studying in their own countries. Some need all kinds of proof materials, others don't need any materials, just need to pay the required fees.

However, most countries require materials that can prove that they can afford the expenses of international students, including economic guarantee, bank deposit certificate, personal income certificate, tax bill and so on. In the specific process, students studying abroad at their own expense can apply for the required economic guarantee materials according to the regulations of the country where they go.

1. About economic guarantee:

An economic guarantee is a letter issued by an economic guarantor, stating the relationship between the self-funded international students and the guarantor, the country, school, major and study period of the self-funded international students, and indicating that the economic guarantor is willing to bear all the expenses required by the self-funded international students (usually including tuition, living expenses, transportation expenses, etc.).

Economic guarantee is generally written in English, with clear words and distinct levels. Economic guarantee can be provided to the schools where overseas students apply, or to the domestic examination and approval departments and institutions or the embassies and consulates of the countries where they study abroad for entry visas. If it is necessary to provide financial guarantee to the above parties, it is only necessary to provide the original documents to the embassies and consulates that handle entry and relocation, and provide copies of the guarantee to other departments and institutions.

2. Several problems that economic guarantors should pay attention to:

(1) After the economic guarantor submits the economic guarantee and bank deposit certificate to the relevant departments, it is not necessary to freeze his bank deposit. However, when examining the economic guarantee ability of economic guarantors, the relevant departments require that bank deposits have a certain deposit period in banks, usually ranging from 3 months to half a year;

In addition, foreign embassies, consulates or agencies responsible for approving entry visas will check the deposits of economic guarantors in banks from time to time to prevent fraud or other irresponsible acts.

(2) The property of the economic cashier, such as houses and enterprises, is the concrete embodiment of the guarantor's economic strength. However, the relevant departments only regard this as a reference for reviewing the qualifications of economic guarantors, not as the main basis.

Because there is still a complicated process to convert property into cash, and property such as houses and enterprises can be maintained by individuals applying for loans or installment payments through lending institutions and banks, this property belongs to the economic guarantor, but it is not entirely owned by the guarantor. Therefore, it is not easy for an economic guarantor to provide financial guarantee directly to international students with his own property.

3. Several methods for economic guarantor to handle economic guarantee:

(1) Taiwan Province residents as economic guarantee.

(2) The domestic guarantor applies for economic guarantee. The domestic guarantor must issue an economic guarantee and a bank deposit certificate issued by the bank. When applying for a passport abroad, the applicant must provide the foreign exchange deposit and fund amount of the guarantor in the bank and the materials proving the legitimacy of the foreign exchange source to the authority responsible for approving the issuance of the passport.

It is also necessary to provide materials to prove the relationship between the guarantor and the guarantor, and submit receipts for paying tuition and living expenses of foreign schools.

Responsibility of economic guarantor:

Generally speaking, the responsibility of financial guarantor is mainly to provide financial guarantee for self-funded international students. However, economic guarantors sometimes have certain legal responsibilities. Guarantors should be aware that once an economic guarantee is issued, a certificate of personal foreign exchange deposits and foreign exchange funds is issued from the bank and notarized and signed by the notary office, they will perform their responsibilities economically, morally and legally.

Four, apply for scholarships and grants:

Studying abroad at one's own expense depends on applying for foreign scholarships and grants without the foreign exchange support of relatives and friends and individuals without enough foreign exchange deposits. Individuals who want to apply for studying abroad at their own expense can apply for scholarships from foreign universities and funded projects from foreign private institutions and foundations.

1. Scholarship

Western developed countries have set up various scholarships to encourage outstanding academic and scientific personnel with scientific research ability to participate in the research of a certain subject or complete an academic course. Scholarships have two objectives:

One is to reward high-level students, and the other is to subsidize students from poor families. Scholarships come from a variety of sources, including education funds from the federal government, state governments or municipal governments, relevant science foundations, scientific research institutions and universities, and donations from enterprises or individuals to schools. Most scholarship programs have one thing in common, that is, internationalization, and students all over the world can apply or apply for exams.

2. scholarships

Grants can usually be divided into two types: assistantships and graduate scholarships. Both of them need work-study programs, and the remuneration for work-study programs is the source of living expenses. Grant income is subject to income tax, but the tax rate is very low.

3. Problems that should be paid attention to when applying for awards and subsidies

Students studying abroad at their own expense should pay attention to the following points when striving for scholarships:

(1) China students who apply for undergraduate courses rarely get financial aid from universities. Ordinary universities only waive part or all of the tuition fees for undergraduates. Graduate students can apply for more scholarships.

(2) Have a high level of foreign language and be proficient in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Make a full recommendation for yourself, recommended by scholars and experts with certain prestige. There will be more opportunities.

(3) Applying for a prestigious university may not be easy to get a scholarship. Usually, world-famous universities have strong faculty, advanced teaching and research equipment and sufficient funds, and provide students with a lot of financial aid. ?

However, due to its high popularity and many applicants, there may be thousands of applicants vying for a scholarship. On the contrary, some less well-known universities have fewer applicants, and only a dozen people may compete for scholarships, so the chances of getting scholarships are much greater.

(4) Scholarships for science majors are less competitive than those for engineering, and it is relatively easy to get grants. The number of scholarships for humanities majors is small. There are almost no scholarships for law and medicine majors;

(5) Pay attention to regional factors. As far as a country is concerned, due to historical and resource reasons, its regional economic, cultural, educational and scientific development is unbalanced. When applying for scholarships, if you look at underdeveloped areas, it will be easier to get scholarships and many other concessions.

(6) Applicants should pay attention to the deadline for applying for scholarships, and apply one year or earlier.

Some scholarships are not well-known, so fewer people apply. The company provides scholarship information all year round. You can contact our company if you need it.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) to apply for a passport

China passport issuing agency and related regulations

The regulations for issuing passports in all countries are formulated according to their own laws. According to China's regulations, citizens of China who have reached the age of 18 can issue passports, while citizens who have not reached the age of 18 can use the same passport when going abroad privately. If necessary, it can also be sent separately.

Passport procedures for going abroad on business are handled in the foreign affairs offices of the people's governments of provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions and some municipal foreign affairs offices authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
