I guess along with the other ridiculous decision about the ARC card, you cant get a chinese visa on your own anymore, you have to go through a travel agency.
Can anyone suggest one? Website would he ideal. I know about Xanadu. Any others?
thanks |

If it's any consolation , I got a Chinese visa once by going through the PRC embassy...and it made me sure as hell wish I'd paid a fee to have it done by a travel agency. Just about any one in Korea will do.
What do you mean by"ridiculous decision about the ARC card"? |

| The chinese embassy decided as of July 1st that you need to have 6 months remaining on your ARC card to get a VISA, leaving me, and a lot of others, stranded with non refundable plane tickets and no visa. I may still be able to cuz I've resigned for the fall, so I may be able to renew my ARC just in time, but my friend is SOL |

| Can't your friend get a visa from their home country? Mail it to a family member and have them do it. Will be expensive to post it, but not as much as a trashed ticket. |

Tell your friend to try anyhow. They had the same policy last April and I was able to get a visa despite my ARC expiring in August. I went to the consulate near Myeongdong and there were tonnes of people hanging about offering to help you process your visa, I chose one, she did the legwork and I was in China a few weeks later.
China's just frontin'. |

if im not mistaken, most travel agents demand you buy the ticket to china from them too in order to do the visa run for you.
id say, going to the embassy is a pain in the butt. i doubt they speak english there. so unless you speak pretty good korean or fluent chinese, it will be a major hassle.
plus, arent they only open and accepting applications from 9am to 11am? |
