Forums > Living in Kunming > A Visa fairytale? @laotou
Many thanks for the full and frank answer! I thought I was expecting too much of an easy life. I'm still undecided as to whether to go as there are a good few options here, albeit for less dosh, but obviously the easier the prevailing hoops are to jump through, the better able I am to make a decision.
The school itself have been ultra efficient in giving me information so far (something I am definitely not used to!) and the lady I've been talking to seems very clued up on the whole process, but it is completely at odds with other advice. How I long for bog standard, annoyingly consistent British bureaucracy in this instance!
Forums > Living in Kunming > A Visa fairytale? I've just been told by an admin officer at a prospective employer in Beijing (a school) that visa transfer between here and there is less complex than I was led to believe, and a Criminal Record Clearance only involves a trip to the local PSB.
To say I am skeptical is an understatement. I have been filling in forms all week to get clearance from England for a 1000 yuan + fee.
Is she right? Should I continue with my current process to dot i's and cross t's?
There seems to be a dearth of easily available unambiguous information out there. Even previous threads I've looked at seem to give conflicting advice. Any help will be much appreciated!
Forums > Living in Kunming > Salary info for prospective teachers I couldn't (be bothered to look for, ahem) find the thread, but there was one recently where the poster was asking about salary levels for teachers here.
This link gives a lot of useful information, as well as other further links to other stuff ( A guide to getting married in China, anyone?)

Forums > Living in Kunming > New sim card 10086 still works for text balance info. Text 'ye' to this number (obviously without the quotes) and you will get a text back in a jiffy with your balance and your usage for the week, although I just now used this method and only received my balance.
If there are two numbers though, the first is your balance.
