Mr.Winston · Answer

You should apply for a new visa before the present one expires. The expedited service of the China embassy in South Korea is available for everyone.

Mr.Fuluo · Answer

Went to the Public Security Bureau (Div. of exit and entry administration) and they did not to want to extend my L visa without a certificate of financial support. It would just be the 1st extension. Did you have to bring that as well? Seems I will have to go to Seoul as well on Aug 28. Is it possible to get a new L visa issued at the Chinese embassy in Seoul? I read something weird about having to go to travel agencies.

Mr.Andrew · Answer

Mr. Fuluo, yes, you need to submit a proof of deposit slip from the bank. Basically for the number of days you are staying you need to deposit 100 US per day in a Chinese bank to prove that you have enough money to live in the country. Then the bank issues you a slip you need to bring to the visa office. This might take a while, so plan accordingly. Good luck!If you plan to apply a new visa in South Korea, you must apply the visa through the authorized travel agencies.
