i'm currently working as an esl teacher in korea.

Question

I'm currently working as an ESL teacher in Korea. I'm close to getting a job in China as soon as my current work contract ends (October 15). My potential employers want me to apply for a L (tourist) visa in Korea before I arrive in China. Now all non-Koreans need their ARC cards to apply in Korea, right? But, my ARC will expire as soon as I leave Korea. Can I still get a L visa during the duration of my ARC (up to October 15). Since I'm an American should I use a travel agency working with the proper authorities to help me? Thank you.

It's true that non-Korean applicants need to provide the ARC card valid for at least 6 months, but I know that the China consulate in Busan has not applied this rule, you can use a travel agency which has the office in Busan to apply for China visa for you. Anyhow, have a try!
