Forums > Travel Yunnan > Ruili Visa Run

The answer is a clear and definitive NO. Expect more and more restrictions in the coming months. Whatever was done in the past no longer holds true. The Burma border has been closed to foreigners for almost 2 years now. Yes, some fools can cross there illegally for a day or for a few hours but it does nothing for renewing a visa.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Visa advice needed! Just married a local!

I have been living in China for 9 years this December. I am married to a Chinese woman. I have been to Chengdu to apply for a visa for my wife and I have heard the horror stories from many others who after years of going back and forth to interviews and wasting time and money they are still denied their visa.

I realized, why should I waste my time and money and BEG like a pauper to go to this God forsaken country? Keep it! I can spend (Not waste) a little money and travel and enjoy life in other welcoming countries rather that waste my time to try take my wife to visit the good old USA.

This is the third VPN post that has been revived in the last few days. Interesting to note that the other 2 have already been deleted by the moderators.

I looked in many sites over many years but still unable to find the movies I listed. This is why I am asking if anyone already has the movies so we can exchange.

deposit of 99 yuan.. deposit is automatically returned upon each completed payment.

All the 99 yuan deposits can NOT make up for what I saw today during my 40 minute bus ride.

3 bikes which had the seat completely removed and 1 bike that had the from wheel removed.

Cost of repairs and cost of sending workers to do the repairs - Haha!

What did I see today?

Saw 2 OFO workers wearing yellow vests with letters OFO on the back repairing over a dozen bikes in a street corner near my house.

Saw 2 OFO bikes chained near the rear entrance of Wicker basket. Apparantly they are now OWNED by 2 workers there.

I predict that OFO will be out of business in 3 months. Once a person gets the combination to a bike, it becomes private property and the company can no longer get any revenue from that bike.

Kids are smart and have time and they knnow that people seldom turn the dial of the combination or they just turn the 2 center dials. Within a few minutes of fiddling with a lock anyone can usually get the combination at which time the bike becomes private property. This is why most of the bikes I see kids riding are the yellow OFO bikes.

With no GPS there is no way to track these bikes - Hehe!

I wonder how many people who have commented here have actually used this program here in Kunming.

Bikes used in other provinces or in other countries is NOT the same as here in Kunming.

Since the bikes are scattered everywhere and people are hiding the bikes so they can have sole use of it - how can any person find a bike to use. Unless one is willing to walk long distances and has already paid to be able to use all 3 types of bikes - this program is absolutely useless.

I caught a slumdog hiding a bike in my garden 2 days ago. I see plenty of bikes all over the city so there are plenty to choose from but hundreds of the bikes are intentioanlly hidden after use so they can be used at the doorstep the following day.

In my Resd Qtr I saw 3 bikes totally destroyed - 1 had a flat, other had rear wheel missing and other had handle bars bent. How does anyone bend handle bars unless it is done intentionally. This is just 2 months after the program has begun.

The bikes need to be put in a bike rack where they are easily accessible to all as is in many other civilized cities here in China like Gansu and Guangxi. I am sure there are others.

The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.
