What type of visa should I get? If you are coming to China for less than three months, we recommend you come on a tourist visa (L Visa).  However, if you are planning on staying for an extended period of time, you need to apply for a student visa (X visa).   Applying for an X visa will require the following: 1.  A valid passport with date of expiration more than 6 months away 2.  One completed visa application form 3.  An approved Foreign Student Visa Application form (Provided by us after you pay your destination school tuition) 4.  A $50 visa application fee You can apply for the visa in person at your nearest Chinese Embassy or Consulate, or send it in via mail.  Once you decide to come to China through Landing Beijing, we are very happy to help you with all aspects of visa application, the most important being getting your approved Foreign Student Visa Application Form.
