Consultation and application fees are non-refundable and due upon processing. Program fees vary by destination and service package, excluding travel, visa, insurance, and personal expenses. Payments are invoiced in CNY or USD, with due dates specified. Late payments may incur fees, and we reserve the right to adjust fees for changes in program costs.
