arc card expirationthe tourist visa application

Question

Hi, My ARC Card expires at the end of November, as I will leave Korea in the first week of November. I am planning to visit China in the middle of September, so I will apply for my visa in early August. Will my ARC Card be a problem? I read on this page that you need an ARC Card valid for 6 months. Thanks in advance!

Jack, I don’t think your ARC card will be a problem. Don’t worry! I think you can try to apply for it if your ARC card still has a remaining validity of 3 months.
