hello,i'm a us citizen living in south korea on an a-3 visa.

Question

Hello,I'm a US citizen living in South Korea on an A-3 Visa.  I went to a travel agency today to apply for a Chinese tourist visa (I'm planning on going in August), but the travel agent told me that I could not get one because I do not have an Alien Registration Card. Apparently starting this week, Americans must submit their Alien Registration Card along with the application in order to get a visa.  Because of the nature of my A-3 (it's a diplomatic exchange visa), I don't have this sort of card.  Would a verification letter from the organization that's sponsoring my visa work instead?Thank You!

Mr.Kyle · Answer

Sorry, sir, you can only get an Alien Registration first. We must follow the requirements if we want to get a visa from the consulor.
