Last post in the thread says officials in various offices never heard of such a thing, but that was two years ago. Maybe it's your turn to run around to different beaurocracies in Kunming to find out what's the status for 2011!]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Interesting indeed.

However, it looks like the only difference in status is that you don't need to be a resident in China. It may be that you still need to take the theory test for Chinese driving regulations, the info provided in the links suggests this is the case.

If I am correct, then you can get a temporary driving licence if you have some purpose to drive, part of a tour perhaps. I assume then you would be in a hired or borrowed vehicle.

For most of us, who have a temporary certificate of residence from the local police, the temporary drivers licence offers no advantages over the permanent one.

Although one of the posts in China moto, suggested it was to buy a motorcycle in another province. This is a way of buying larger engined motorcycles, I have seen 1000cc sports bikes in China (not legal in Shanghai but I have seen them with other province plates).]]></content:encoded>

As somenick goes on to hint at, "exist" is a tricky word in this situation. If the KM bureaucrat whose job it theoretically is to issue the license is too ignorant, lazy, incompetent or some combination thereof to actually issue it, then does it exist?]]></content:encoded>

I passed my driving test while speeding in an old black Volga throughout Kunming, scaring the two examiners almost to death. No theory test needed, because I was totally illiterate these days. I am still embarrassed and I am thankful for everybody who helped me through the procedures, however I will not disclose any details.]]></content:encoded>
