I am an exchange student in Austria, how to obtain a visa to China?

I'm afraid your application will be denied by China embassy in Vienna, Austria because your exchange student visa expires on Jan 22, 2012. You will leave Austria, the visa officer regards you as a temporary visitor in Austria and thinks that you should apply for China visa in your country.

If you want to try your luck, you need to prepare the below documents, then submit them to embassy in person or ask someone else to do it for you:
1. your Korean passport and copies of the page with photo and Austrian student visa
2. one passport photo
3. fill in visa application form V.2011A and form V.2011B
4. the flight tickets
