There are limits on the amounts per transaction and you might...

Re: Arkansas / Memphis

It is a fresh new job, though I know the management as we worked together in the past. As I said, the visa part is not more important to me than knowing where to live : crime free and mozzie bite...

Re: Arkansas / Memphis

Thanks Bluegrass, Bob.

I found a thread from 2010. Germantown was mentioned as a nice place. The downside is the 10 months per year of mozzies. Surviving 5 months of them, in China, is about my...

Re: English Teacher - Dependent Visa Worries.

Re: Xi'an - Is there anybody out there?

Re: China 3 month visa

I agree, it makes sense to apply in the country where you are living.

The backpackers, however, would have been applying for a tourist visa. Very different from a work one. I know dozens of people...

Re: China 3 month visa

As long as you fill out all the information correctly, there should be no problem for your passport to be posted out to you.
I am sure my first z visa was posted back to me. I was in the UK though.

Re: British Passport Expiry and China Residence Permit Renewal Conflict

Must be a really cushy job, working in an Embassy.
In China, they are open 23 hours per week, (half day Friday) and you now need to make an appointment, even just to speak to someone ! :blink:

Re: China bans English words in media
