About:Chinese Embassy in South Korea

Austrian - Stopover visa - Shanghai 4,5 h

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am an Austrian citizen, currently studying in Seoul (from 23.01. - 31.08 2013). I would like to take a flight to Sydney on 27.06.2013 with a stopover in Shanghai for 4,5 hours. I do not have a Visa for China yet. Can I apply for a stopover-visa here in Seoul at your embassy, or how shall I proceed to be able to take my flight?

Thank you very much in advance!

If you hold Australian passport, you are exempted from visa to tranist in Shanghai for 72 hours. It is not necessary to get any from embassy.

Sorry, my fault, I misread your nationality. It is the same, Austria is also in the free list.
