Question

Hi,I am an Irish citizen living and working in Korea and an E2 visa holder. I am planning to travel to Beijing for lunar new year and I want to apply for a Chinese holiday visa. At the moment I have five and a half months left on my E2 visa. Can I travel to China on this visa and if not what can I do to allow me to travel? Is a visa extension possible?

Ms.NANCYMOON · Answer

You can apply for China tourist visa through the one of the travel agencies designated by China Consulate in Busan which doesn't asks non-Korean applicants to provide Alien Registration Card with at least 6 months validity, you can use your E2 visa to substitue the Alien Registration Card to apply for visa. You can refer to Beijing City Tour(https://www.travelchinaguide.com/package/beijing.htm) to arrange your sightseeing during Lunar New Year.
