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!

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