Forums > Living in Kunming > COVID 19 vaccine for foreigners

That's probably because residence permit has been been confused with accommodation registration, with the latter needed also by S2 (and any other) visa holders.

It was (apparently) cited by medical authorities that residence permit is required, but what they really meant was the accommodation registration from local police station.

These medical authorities who know nothing of entry/exit, probably confused the terminology

- Chinese non-hukou holders residing in Kunming also require a temporary residence permit, which they do acquire from same local police stations where foreigners get accommodation registration from. But it's not where foreigner's residence permit comes from.

Technically no.

But if it goes ugly, and the marriage has proven history of having one half forced to take care of home (even if no children) instead of possibility of going to work and making career, then there are cases where courts have decided to require compensations.

China's marriage law keeps property of the individuals separate. In case of divorce, the ex will not have claim to any property that you already had before the marriage.

Even if technically possible, in practice you will probably need to acquire a fresh (properly legalized) no-cririminal certificate from your home country. Depending on what country that is, it may require a trip back home to get it.

Also assuming that you aren't yet married and only contemplating visa implications in doing so, the marriage registration itself requires equally legalized document from your home country, proving that you are single and as such eligible for the marriage in China.

My aged Chinese mother-in-law indicated that she'd like to get vaccinated, but she was denied by local clinic citing that at her age she should get it at a bigger hospital. Better prepared to deal with any problems arising from her age there. Not necessarily ones related to the vaccine itself, but the process also.

In extreme poverty, people will even limit survival to that of their own person.

This has been reported, for example, from DPRK prison camps with family members turning on each other to survive.

In today's China you cannot make this comparison to DPRK, but China's history has left its marks in people's behavior today.

If I interpret Mike correctly, he is referring to general attitude of average Chinese person toward other human beings, nature, and generally everything other than himself and his immediate family.

For long time China was poor country, and it still reflects in many parts of the society. One is, that average Chinese will always put his own survival and benefit first.
