Hi, I have less than 6 months left on my visa(E2).
Can I still go visit China from August 15th?
Thanks for any help. |

IF and ONLY IF you have previously visited China within the past 2 years, and such a fact can be proven by your previous Chinese visa as well as immigration stamp. In that case, as I've been told, your Korean ARC getting expired in less than 6 months becomes irrelevant, and you get exempted from that requirement.
Otherwise, you need to find a travel agency in your home country, send your passport to your agent in order to obtain Chinese visa there by proxy. |

| I was in China, Honkong a little while back. It was like a weekend lay-over less than 2 years ago. Does that count? |

Was that layover with a proper visa, or without? Did you use that 48-hour exemption rule or something like that? |

Only Hong Kong? Nope doesn't count. For visa purposes they are considered separate countries. |

| You used to be able to exploit a loophole by using one of the consulates rather than the embassy. While they may have closed it, I would just contact a bunch of travel agents and see if any of them can help you. |
