Can you help me? I could not get into China before my residence permit expired; can I renew my residence permit here in Seoul? Can I apply for a tourist visa to China from here?

You can't renew your residence permit in Seoul and neither can you apply for a tourist visa of China at the moment.

Answered by Eddy | Jul. 20, 2021 19:21

Thanks!
I found that out!
It is really terrible what is going on at the moment.
They say that you have to get a green code to enter the country.
I spent thousands of dollars only to be denied.
It is such a shame!

Asked by Laura Nataly Martinez Vargas from COLOMBIA | Sep. 24, 2019 03:58

Applying for new visa in Korea

Yesterday (September 22, 2019) my boyfriend and I tried to apply for chinese student visa at the Seoul Chinese Application Center, however we were rejected nd told that starting September 16, 2019 it was not possible to apply there without a Korean ID. We were not the only ones, every foreigner was getting rejected and told the same. The only thing they suggested was to fly to our country to apply there. We were really surprised and now we are kind of stuck since our country (Colombia) is in the other idea of the planet. We are wondering if we could perhaps apply at the Busan application centre here in Korea, does anyone know if they are accepting the visa requests without a Korean ID?

It is the same case. Recently, if you don't have an ARC card in South Korea, you cannot apply for China visa from there.

Answered by Sebastián Piedrahita from COLOMBIA | Dec. 11, 2019 22:56

Qué tal Laura, también soy the Colombia y he aplicado satisfactoriamente a la Visa China.

1. Revisar en que lograr están aplicando. Los extranjeros y locales que aplican de manera individual deben remitirse a el "Chinese Visa Consulate" este es el correcto. De otra manera si van al "Consulate General of the People's Republic of China" no es posible.

2. La visade negocios es muy inestable al momento de aplicar es casi imposible. Mejor aplicar en cada país.

3 Las visas de turista, estudiante o trabajo requiere tener todos los papeles completos, garantías y, en muchas ocasiones, pasar una entrevista. Este tipo de visas requiere estar bastante preparado, buen nivel de inglés y un chino básico es recomendado.
