Enrollments
There are three simple ways to apply for entry into a course at the Academy of Chinese Language Studies. These are:
Application deadline is 6 weeks before the start of the course. Timely applicants must include an application fee of USD100. Applications made after the deadline must include a late fee of USD160. Enrollment and payment of course fee deadline is 4 weeks before start of the program. If deadlines cannot be met, contact ACLS.
When you have Enrolled in the course, the visa documents (a Letter of Invitation) will be sent to you. Please contact your nearest Chinese Embassy or Consulate for the Visa Application Form and processing fee. Early Enrollment is strongly advised to take into account the time needed for visa documents to be sent by Admissions and visa processing time by the Embassy or Consulate.
Bring the following documents to the Embassy or Consulate:
- Visa Application Form (completed)
- Your valid passport (it must be valid for a minimum of 6 months and for the duration of the program)
- A copy of the Letter of Invitation (provided by ACLS)
- Relevant visa application fee
- 2 Passport size photos
Applicants should apply for an F Visa. In most cases visas will be issued for 1, 3 or 6 months regardless of the study duration. If the study duration is not covered by the initial visa approval, ACLS will assist students in extending their visa, however all fees will be covered by the student.
Please note that ACLS can only issue an invitation letter for the duration of study. Students are responsible for obtaining the necessary visas for their stay in China . ACLS recommends students check with their nearest Chinese Embassy or Consulate for the latest visa regulations.
