About:Chinese Embassy in South Korea

Hello!!
I am a foreigh living in South Korea for my master degree with an ARC that expires in the end of the course (after one year - MARCH 2011). The thing is: i want to take vacation after the classes are finised and before going definetelly back to my country (Brazil)and i want to go to China for a few days.
The time i will apply to the Visa, i will still have the ARC valid (cause i will do it before March)BUT, when the trip happens i will be in Korea with a tourist visa, course the course will be over.
Is there any problems?
Should i provide any other documentation, like my ticket back to my country, with dates and etc.?
Tks!!!

The China embassy in Seoul asks applicants other than Korean have to hold ARC valid for at least 6 months, therefore, you can't get a China tourist visa from Seoul. I hear that China consulate in Busan has not applied this rule, you can still apply for a China visa from consulate in Busan with the ARC valid for less than 6 months.

Now, your ARC still has 6 months remaining validity, but you can't apply for China visa so early, the single-entry China visa is only valid for 3 months, if you apply for it now, it expires before you use it, please apply for China visa in January.

Please contact the list of travel agencies authorized by the consulate, and mail your application to it. The consulate only asks for your ARC in Korea rather than your Korean tourist visa.
