Well I remember the when I applied for the residence (wife) visa before it came in options of it had 2 year option and 5 year option. I only went for the 2 year as for some quirky reason I just assumed more likely to get at the time. I think but not 100% on this that it's pretty new on the visas available, as in it was made available at roughly the time I was applying previously.
Just wanted to know if people have been fine getting a five year residence permit in China so far, not really heard much about people having them. My Two year one I have will expire in the summer and was thinking to try the Five year visa this time rather than Two year, but is it harder to get?
Surely the qualifying should just work out the same but you never know lol. So if anyone or anyone you know have experience with this be thankful to hear about it :o)
Bit inquisitive maybe but why does one get a 10 year multiple entry visa? Do you do these type of runs every two months then? Obviously yes but a pain in the a**e for sure. Surely easier to find someone help you with the 2 year/5 year one (not me, just saying lol).
Anyway no reason walking into Vietnam and back will have any problems, visa good for another 60 day lol
@tonyaod Your description was nowhere near what I experience every year with my Chinese family. Where do you get that from, is it your own experience with family or just a load of complaints stuffed together to make description.
"checking to see if the elderly who are given seats say 'thank you'."
That's definitely a tough pass, I can't remember ever getting a thank you from an elderly person for any kind of polite gesture (holding doors, picking up something they dropped etc).
Overall, even if it all goes lax afterwards it must have some kind of longer term imprint on the city.
100% agree with that last sentence Peter. I wasn't on her 'side' when I first saw the vid but now after seeing the way it's gone way out of what it should be viewed as, it's easy to become more friendlier to her view.
Have noticed a marked improvement on the way things are done this week, so I'm happy. Any progress adds up over time to get closer to that point we'd all prefer.
@tiger First thing I thought, a lot of money that's not going to be recouped through tourist spending anytime to quickly. Definitely bumping up the GDP, can't knock any kind of upgrade to the area but I'd be so much more impressed if it was put into something like countryside schools as liumingke1234 said. In fact I'd have quite a fair bit of admiration for the government then.
Been here several times lately and every time I've enjoyed my meal. Don't know why some others have said it was pricey, the price has always seemed fair to me :)
