Learn Mandarin in China - Chinese Visa

Before coming to China, I was really stressed about the visa process. It’s not super clear when you’re trying to figure it out from Europe, and everything online seems complicated or outdated. Luckily, the XMandarin team was super helpful from the beginning. They explained everything clearly, told me exactly what documents I needed, and were really patient when I had questions (which was a lot haha). They helped organize the invitation letter and supported me through the application. Once I arrived in Qingdao, they also helped with the residence registration and local formalities, which can be a bit overwhelming if you’re alone in a new country where they barely speak English. If you’re planning to do an internship or study Chinese and you need visa help, I’d definitely recommend reaching out to them. It’s not a magic solution, but they do make the whole process way smoother.

I came to China through the visa program with XMandarin, and overall, the process was pretty smooth. They helped me get all the documents I needed ahead of time, like the internship invitation letter and guidance on what to submit to the Chinese embassy. It definitely made things less stressful, especially since it was my first time dealing with a Chinese visa. What I appreciated most was how responsive the staff were. Anytime I had questions (and I had a lot), they replied quickly and walked me through everything step by step. It’s not a 100% hand-holding experience you still have to go to your local Chinese consulate and sort things on your end but they give you the materials and direction to make sure it all works out. Once I arrived in China, they also helped with the residence registration and explained how to stay compliant with local regulations. That part was really helpful because it can be confusing at first.

Ik wilde graag Chinees leren en tegelijk netjes mijn studentenvisum regelen. Via XMandarin kwam ik hier terecht, en dat was een slimme keuze. Wat ik vooral waardeer, is dat ze je stap voor stap helpen met het visum, dat pakken zij echt voor je op. De lessen zijn fijn, niet te groot, goed tempo, en de docenten zijn geduldig. In mijn groep is er altijd ruimte voor vragen, wat het makkelijker maakt om ook moeilijke dingen te begrijpen. Buiten de lessen om is het ook fijn dat het personeel je helpt met praktische zaken, zoals huisvesting of het leven in Qingdao. De stad zelf is relaxed, met veel leuke plekjes en dichtbij de zee. Als je serieus Chinees wilt leren en tegelijkertijd een visum nodig hebt, zou ik zeker aanraden om via XMandarin te gaan. Het scheelt veel zorgen en je leert echt iets.
