Not enough validation of ARC

Hi Urszula! As far as I know, the ARC card of SK is required for foreigners from a third country to do the application. If you cannot provide an ARC card with a remaining validity of more than six months, then it’s likely that you can apply for China entry permit there. As the validity of your ARC is only a little bit shorter than the required validity, I suggest you consult with the embassy whether you can do the application with it. If yes, you need to provide the following details: passport, a photocopy of the passport’s info page, a completed application form attached with your recent bare-headed photo, the original and photocopy of your ARC card, and round way tickets and hotel orders.
