Question

I'm a US citizen living and teaching in South Korea for a year. I read that I MUST obtain a Chinese tourist visa through a travel agency if I am residing in South Korea. (I have already bought my tickets to Beijing, on a side note.) Do I still need to apply in person at the Chinese Embassy in Seoul or does the agency do it for me? Also, how much does an agency cost?

Mr.Alvin · Answer

Yes, you have to find yourself a travel agency which is designated by the Consular Section of the Chinese Embassy. The cost may differ in agencies, here is a list of this agencies in the official website of Chinese Embassy in South Korean (in Korean ersion): http://www.chinaemb.or.kr/chn/lsqz/ls_qz/ls_qz_13/t229558.htm

Ms.Renee · Answer

Thank you! Do I still need to go to the Chinese embassy, or will the agency do that for me?

Mr.Alvin · Answer

The travel agency will do that for you. By the way, I forget to tell you that non-koreans who want to apply for visas to China, he/she must provides the alien registration card in South Korea valid for more than 6 months.
