K Visa: How helpful is China's K Visa for Indian students? Learn how STEM graduates will find great opportunities...
China K Visa: The US recently made a significant decision regarding H-1B visas, increasing the fee for H-1B visas to $100,000. This has come as a shock to students, youth, and various professionals from around the world seeking employment in the US. Meanwhile, China has announced the K Visa, which experts are calling a Chinese version of the US H-1B visa.
Let's explore how China's K Visa has brought relief at a time when the US has indirectly closed its doors to workers worldwide by increasing H-1B visa fees. We'll explore how it can prove helpful for Indian students.
Regulations Changed in August, Effective October 1
China made changes to the K Visa regulations in August. For example, it amended the rules governing the entry and exit of foreigners. Following this, the K Visa came into effect, effective October 1.
China is attracting talent from around the world through the K visa. The K visa rules have been simplified. China offers a total of 12 types of visas. The K visa is designed to allow students, young people, entrepreneurs, researchers, and professionals to apply for a K visa based on their degrees, even without an invitation from a company or organization.
Excellent Opportunities for STEM Graduates
In fact, only Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) graduates can apply for China's K visa. STEM graduates will directly benefit from the K visa. China has issued a statement stating that the K visa will be open to young foreign scientific and technical talent who have obtained at least a bachelor's degree in a STEM field from a university or research institute in China or abroad. According to reports, the K visa will also be available to young professionals engaged in teaching or research at such institutions.
This will be helpful for Indian students.
China's K visa is considered beneficial for South Asian students, especially Indian students. Globally, China has become an option for STEM graduates. Indian students are expected to benefit the most from this. In fact, over 300,000 Indian software professionals are working in the US alone, having earned a place there on the basis of their talent. Furthermore, each year, over 50,000 students clear the world's second-toughest exam, JEE Advanced, and become engineers. These students will now have the option of going to China. Furthermore, due to increased global competition, talent is expected to earn more.
