Hi Guys, I am from the UK teaching in Seoul,

Do I need to have an Korean ARC card with 6 months left on it to benefit from the 72 hour visa? I would be arriving from Japan then going back to Seoul via Beijing? thanks! Surely the ARC card shouldnt matter?

IF you qualify for a legitimate "72 hour transit visa on arrival" then the ARC won't matter.

You need to have a flight originating from outside of China and have a continuing (not returning) flight to a destination outside of China within 72 hours of your arrival.
