4 Is there any requirement for Chinese language skills for the applicants?
Practically no. The applicants without any Chinese background may apply for entry level programs.

5. What is the difference between study visa and tours visa to China?
The key difference between tour visa and study visa is whether it is extendable after three months. It is very easy to apply for tours visa to China and almost no documents are needed from us for tours visa. But it is very hard to extend tours visa beyond three months. At same time, the study visa could be extended beyond three months and the applicant needs W202 form from Chinese educational institutes to apply for study visa. We could arrange that documents for you once we accept your application.
