Forums > Living in Kunming > 10 year visa updates?

Anyone with a 10 yr visa should know that they must exit the country very 60-90-180 days. Few are so lucky as to get 180 days. So be prepared to go to Laos, Vietnam, and Hong Kong again and again. Only time will tell which is more time consuming and which is more expensive.

What really surprises me about this ignorant statement is that Geezer has a son who is in the Marine Corps. Is your son not entitled to reveiving a pension if he chooses or is able to complete 20 years of service? Is he taking something that is not rightfully his if he chooses to stay in and retire after 20 years?

Are all workers who work for 20-30 years not entitled to receive a pension or social security at a certain age. So factory workers, railroad workers, firemen, policemen, govt employees, company employees and all the other millions of people of who work their entire lives for a pension are all TAKING money from the USA.

I will not even bother to reply to the other ignorant comment.

As always, the same people who love to hijack threads - the topic is torrents.

Hong Kong has a very strong movie industry as does Bollywood in India, yet they are not crusading to seize and imprison those who offer free movies to others. They are not out to save the world or protect their rich friends from some poor slob cheating them of some royalties.

How does the film industry make money - by ticket sales. But since the country is bankrupt and people can not afford to go to a movie any more they must resort to watching movies online since they are living in poverty or below the poverty line.

Or they are so poor and can not find a job so they must move their entire family to China because they can not make it in the good old USA.

Most people are creatures of habit which limits their growth severely. Every time I go to HK I make it a point to use a different entry/exit point so I can know all the surrounding area and where each exit will bring me.

If you are short on cash, HK is not the place to go. Trains charge by distance, so the further you go the more you pay. Keep a lot of loose change in hand. First time I visited I was amazed at how the taxi meter moved and the fares kept rising right in front of my eyes.

Good side is there of plenty to eat anywhere and everywhere but prices are much higher than good old Kunming.

Expect to go into many (mansions) hotels to ask for rates and then walk out to look for another.

The new cards can be used on both the subway and the buses. However, the 20 Yuan deposit is NOT refundable. This is a recent scam I discovered recently when I turned in my old bus card to get the new subway + bus card. If you do not beleive me - go ask for yourself. You are charged 1 Yuan every month until the 20 Yuan deposit is depleted.

GK still has not learned to give specific information when writing articles. Where in the world is FuYuan County? It would be nice if the writers did a little research and gave the specific location of this county. Is it Wenshan? Qujing? Where?

Yunnan reopens 13 international border crossings - although the title of the article claims 13 International borders have been opened, I find it very hard to believe that they are in fact International and Not Local borders.

Recently I have seen many post regarding Myanmar with much heresay and conjecture being passed with the sole exception of Peter99 who has actually crossed the border and knows what he is talking about. Of the 13 borders mentioned above, 5 are for Myanmar. Lets see if one of those posters makes their way to one of these small borders and tries to cross into Myanmar without success.

The Hekou border in Honghe has always been opened and is certainly an International border. I have no idea why this border is mentioned as one of the 13 borders that has been RE-opened.

The Border in Mohan, Mengla, Xishuangbanna has also always been opened and is certainly an International border. Again, no idea why this border is mentioned as being RE-opened.

I caution anyone who wants to use any of the borders mentioned here to go verify the information at the appropropriate Consulate.

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.
