About:Chinese Consulates in South Korea

Hi,

I need to get my visa through a travel agent in Busan. I saw the numbers posted recently for 2 agents and will try them. I am worried the fee will be higher than 20.000 won extra the consulate say it should be. There is a foreigner specialist agent in Busan charging 30.000. If you didn't book ticket with them then 60.000 fee. Does anyone know of a place that does not charge more than 20.000 plus visa fee?

As for the designated travel agencies in Busan, you can refer to http://busan.china-consulate.org/kor/ (in Korean version)

The service fees (visa fees charged by the Consular Section are not included) for each visa charged by the designated travel agencies (the service means to apply and receive visa on behalf of the applicant) must not exceed 20,000 won.

If applicants find out any designated travel agency infringes the above rules on service fees, they can send us e-mail (mfa.gov.cn|consulate_korea) or fax us (02-755-0469) to lodge a complaint (complaints by phone or face to face are not accepted). The complainant should write down clearly the real name, gender, date of birth, nationality, passport number, phone number of the applicant as well as the application date, the name of the travel agency and the details regarding the infringement. The Consular Section of the Chinese Embassy will fully investigate the case and deal seriously with the relevant travel agency. Please notice that complaints against non-designated travel agencies are not accepted.

I can't find the page with the travel agents numbers on that site. Can you help? I have seen it before and have a Korean friend I can ask for help if I can tell her the exact page.

I am disappointed that the consulte page does not mention they no longer accept in person applications. I have friends who have done this very recently. Must be a new rule for BusAN?

Hi, I found the page again but all the travel agents ARE IN SEOUL!! Is there nothing in BUSAN?

The only optiion in Busan I can find on the Internet will cost 100.000 total as they charge more when you bought ticket elsewhere.
