Forums > Living in Kunming > Anyone know about how a spousal visa works? From recollection of what they said in Shanghai, but note that Shanghai is not Kunming. My wife has a Shanghai HuKou.
If married and resident in China for 5 years, you can get a residence permit on these grounds. In Shanghai it is valid for 5 years (NB I am UK citizen, there seems to be variation of other rules depending on nationality). We needed to deposit 100 000 rmb in a special bank account that we could not touch for 6 months as a condition.
This residence permit would allow me to work.
At the time we did not have 100 000rmb in cash and so I have moved around the Z visa game since.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Visa run to honkers I have tried a search on GK, but cannot find anything.
I need to do a visa run to HK for a work visa.
I am currently on a family Visa, can I convert this to 'Z' visa in HK.
I know in 2008 and 2009 you could not.
Anybody any advice?
Please

Even if people are wrong, and bad mouthing you out of turn. You still need to protect yourself from this. There is a reputational risk to your business. Even if some customers do get the wrong end of the stick, you can't blame the customers.

I know back home we are used to all seasons fruit, because of flying stuff in globally. But China does less of that.
Just a thought
Trafficking in endangered animals on the rise
发布者The guys selling pelts usually arrive in late autumn, all over China. The ones I am thinking of look a bit like frontiersmen, with their fur hats and scrawny black beards. These guys sell dog pelts, they are often sprayed to look like leopard, tiger, etc.
Ancient 'Red Deer Cave' people discovered in Yunnan
发布者There is a need for people to update knowledge bases
Darwin's Law of Evolution by Natural Selection (traditionally referred to as a "theory" to honor Darwin's original treatise, but now confirmed through observation and experiment) consists of five main tenets.

Google of [Darwin's Law] will bring up many scientific websites.
The semantic argument that this is a theory and not a law is out of date.

It was clear to me that this was a year on year growth. Because growth is always expressed in that way.
Kunming discovers two more fake Apple stores
发布者I did see a report that although the Apple Stores were fake, the products were not.
If true this is more an argument for Apple to license more resellers.
Kunming orders English added to outdoor signs
发布者@85 cents. The article says 'only relevant to new signs'. In other words traders won't have to pay for a new sign. But when a new sign is required it needs to be in Pinyin or English, in addition to Hanzi.
This sounds good to me. It will help me find places and improve my Chinese a lot. Why will it improve my Chinese? because I will recognise more words that I have learned in Pinyin (many more than I could in Hanzi) and recognising words will help my language acquisition.
If the words are in English it may also help local kids with their English, in the same manner as Pinyin would help me.
Making the road signs in Pinyin and Chinese was a good idea. It has helped me a lot in navigating the city. Extending the policy to shop signs can only add benefit. And nobody has to buy a new sign.
