Forums > Living in Kunming > Next Consular service visit

from the consulate...

A consular officer from the United States Consulate in Chengdu will be in Kunming to provide limited consular services on Saturday, April 19, 2014. There are a limited number of appointment slots for this visit. You must email us to reserve a time; please include your full name and which service you require. When your appointment has been confirmed, we will email you the time and location confirmation.

The consular officer will be able to perform a number of limited American Citizen Services. Services available include:

- Passport renewal applications (no new passport applications will be accepted)
- Additional passport visa pages applications
- Marriageability Affidavit Notarials
- Notarials

For some of these services, some of your materials may have to be brought to Chengdu for processing. If this is the case, they can be returned to you via the local Chinese EMS mailing service. However, mailing through EMS is done at your own risk, as we cannot guarantee EMS service. Alternatively, you can come to pick up your documents at the U.S. Consulate General in Chengdu during regularly scheduled ACS hours.

To use the EMS mailing service, you must bring your address (in Chinese) and the EMS mailing fee. The EMS fees are listed below:

- 1 Passport renewed 1 envelope RMB25
- 2 Passports renewed 1 envelope RMB30
- 3 Passports renewed 1 envelope RMB35
- 4 Passports renewed 1 envelope RMB40
- 5 Passports renewed 2 envelopes RMB65
- 6 Passports renewed 2 envelopes RMB70
- 7 Passports renewed 2 envelopes RMB75
- 8 Passports renewed 2 envelopes RMB80

Please note the consular officer will have no change available and cannot keep any overpayment, so exact change is required. Fees are listed below:

Passport Book Renewal – Adult (over 16 years old): $ 110.00 / ¥ 682
Passport Book Renewal – Minor (under 16 years old): $105.00 / ¥ 651
Additional passport visa pages: $ 82.00 / ¥ 508.4
Notarial and Marriageability Services: $ 50.00 / ¥ 310
A small number of required forms will be available, but it is suggested that you download, print, and fill out any required forms yourself. These are all available on our website: chengdu.usembassy-china.org.cn/service.html.

Also, please bring originals and photocopies of all materials you will be submitting.

Regards,
American Citizen Services Unit
U.S. Consulate General, Chengdu

Forums > Living in Kunming > Practicing English on Wenhua Xiang

We have had a number of our customers at Salvador's complain recently about the amount of students approaching them for free English lessons during meals on the weekend. It is an issue we have dealt with for a long time now, and we are looking for ways to ease the problem.

We would like to contact the schools and teachers that are making this homework for students to ask students to avoid meal time and also learn how to first ask politely before taking photos and starting conversation. If anyone out there knows which schools are are responsible, we would appreciate any contacts.

We are open to any other ideas that can both please our customers and not offend the students who are only doing this because it is their homework.

Thanks

I promise no one is asking for your passports. Not sure how that one got started, but hilarious nonetheless. Things are back to normal and we truly appreciate all of your support. Cheers

For those who don't already know, as of yesterday restaurants in Kunming are opening up. Salvador's Coffee House and Mosaic Bistro are both currently open from 10 am to 9 pm. As staff return to Kunming, we might soon be able to get back to full operating hours. There are some rules that we must currently follow including...

1. must scan in QR code
2. must scan temperature
3. must wear mask when not eating or drinking
4. must limit seating at tables and tables must be at least 1 meter apart

Hopefully the slow recovery towards normalcy will be seen again next month in the rest of the world.

I'm leaving this review for one of my staff. She just return from Dali and fell in love with this little restaurant in Dali. Very nice owners cooking up delicious and healthy Chinese cuisine with an open kitchen and local "organic" ingredients. I'll have to try it out myself next time.

If you're looking for a slightly higher end place serving local foods in a nice outdoor atmosphere, you'll dig this place

I'm disappointed in myself for even considering giving this place another chance. I wanted to give my 4-month old a chance to see some live animals and I was sure that there was no way that the Kunming Zoo was as bad as it was 15 years ago. Somehow it was worse. It's disgraceful that with all of the changes that this city has undergone in the last two decades that this zoo still lacks any sense of decency or morality.

At nailer and tallamerican, I'm sorry to hear about your recent experiences. We wash everything with purified water and make all of our food fresh daily from whole ingredients in order to avoid any problems. We will review our procedures to assure that we continue to provide the safest and healthiest menu options possible. I hope you'll give us another try and I'd be happy to buy you a coffee if you are around any morning.

@GoKunming, it would be nice if there was a zero star option for reviews so that business owners can contribute without having to rate ourselves. I kind of feel like a d-bag giving myself stars 1-5. For some reason I settled on 4 as the least douchey ;).
