Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• How do I sign up?

  Please fill out the form below and schedule a time to meet with a language consultant to finalize details.

• Can I arrive in China early?

  Definitely! GoEast can arrange your airport pick-up and help you book your hotel no matter what day you arrive.

• Can I stay in China after my program?

  Absolutely! If you’re having too much fun and want to keep learning, we’d be happy to help you extend your stay. Just talk to our consultant to get started. If you’re applying for an X2 study visa, keep in mind that the visa’s validity is aligned with your study dates, so you may want to plan for extra study days to ensure that you have enough time to make the most of your stay in China.

• Can we come as a family?

  Absolutely! We welcome families to join in on the adventure. We offer tailor-made Mandarin classes for children under 16 years old, as well as exciting tours and activities throughout Shanghai, Xi’an, and the rural village for the whole family to enjoy. Please contact our language consultant for a personalized family plan that suits your needs.

• Can I send my kids alone?

  Children under 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult. Both the adult and child will need to be registered for the study program.

• Which visa should I apply for?

  If your Chinese consulate is accepting tourism visa applications, please apply for a tourism visa. Due to COVID, many consulates are not accepting tourism applications. In this instance, please apply for an X2 story-term study visa. 

• What does the X2 visa application process look like?

  We are committed to supporting our students throughout the X2 visa process and providing guidance to maximize their chance of success. However, each X2 visa application is unique, and we cannot guarantee the outcome. Our experienced team will assist you in preparing all necessary documents and provide ongoing support. To initiate the process, we require a deposit of USD $750 per person, in addition to visa application fees, which will be counted towards your full program price. Prior to COVID, our visa application success rate was over 90%. If you require visa assistance, please inform your language consultant when enrolling in your study tour.

• What if my visa gets rejected?

  If you decide to enlist GoEast’s help to apply for the X2 or tourist visa, a deposit of 750 USD per person will be required to initiate the process. In case of rejection or delay, this deposit will be fully refunded.
