Question

Hi,  I am an American citizen living and working as an ESL teacher in Seoul.  My friends and I have booked tickets to Beijing from May 5-8.  We were originally told that since we DO NOT have six months left on our Alien Registration card that a travel agent could send our documents to the Busan and get the proper Visa from them since the Seoul, Chinese Embassy does not do this paperwork.  I have been reading different things and am not sure what the regulations are now.  Is the Chinese Embassy in Busan still doing Visas for people who have less than 6 months remaining on their ARC card?   Any information you can give me would be great!

Sorry, Ms.Held, late to answer your question. The fact is that Chinese consulate in Busan now requires the 6 months ARC also for visa application. This rule was adopted few days ago. But is you have already booked tickets to China, you can rearrange your travel plan to HK first, China visa can be processed there through Commissioner's Office of the Ministry of China Foreign Affairs.
