Forums > Living in Kunming > How much do you know about visas?

M-visa is for business visits, right? I assume that they deny you this because of your age.

However, US citizens are also eligible for 10-year tourist visas, that would allow you to stay 3 months at a time.

I'm not sure if there is an annual limit to those visits as well (information is probably available elsewhere on this site). But I'm sure that tourists do not get discriminated for their age.

You may need to return to USA to apply for one though, and given CoVid-19 restrictions you may be unable to return conveniently even if granted the visa.

Forums > Living in Kunming > From student visa to work visa

Here are some English translations of the draft regulation:

internationaleducation.gov.au/[...]

www.chinalawtranslate.com/en/foreign-teacher-rules-draft/

Specifically this:

"Article 22: (Management of part-time employment)

Foreign teachers can only enter into one contract with one education institution during one term of employment to obtain a record-filing number.

Upon consent of the employing institution, foreign teachers may take on reasonable part-time work at other education institutions. Foreign teacher that takes on part-time jobs should sign a three-party contract between the teacher, the employing institution and institution for the part-time job. The contract should specify responsibility of each party. The employing institution should not collect any fees from the institution for the part-time job. The three-party contract should be submitted to the responsible education department to be retained on file, and the responsible education department should provide the name list to exit and entry administration agency of the public security organ to be retained on file. The accumulative teaching hours of the foreign teacher at the part-time job should not exceed the hours spent teaching at the employing institution. "

To continue on my comment above (suggesting that Chinese authorities may be "forced" to relax employment rules for foreigners already here), here is something related that I recently stumbled upon:

I couldn't open or find the sources referred to in that article, specifically the supposed statement or draft measures from China's Ministry of Education. If anyone has better luck, follow up would be great.

Forums > Living in Kunming > China Unicom english call center number?

For me (and others in same situation) biggest issue with China Mobile is that in my foreign bought mobile phone their service cannot give 4G, so basically no internet.

Therefore China Unicom is the only option for me, other than lugging around a second device with China Mobile card and using it as portable hotspot. This I anyway have to do in places where China Unicom does not have coverage.

Since this website serves foreigners (and locals) not just in Kunming but wider in Yunnan province, I wonder if something to reflect that could be arranged in regards of this PSB cooperation.

At least my personal observations of matters related to organized crime is not so much in Kunming, but outside it.

The first episode left a bit hasty picture. in my opinion in line with what Kunming is - a crossroads city to spend a day, max two, on way to other tourist sites in the province..

Personally I would have liked seeing more in depth stuff, not just the 2-3 highlights available on any travel guide.

But probably cannot do much more in few minutes show, and also why I don't epect much more from the coming episodes.

@vicar: "I know how to keep toilets clean"

In most public toilets in city (and beyond) that I have seen, they have a cleaning person stationed on the premises. I don't know know if they even go home for nights.

In many countries that alone would be considered a huge investment, but obviously not in China.
