Forums > Travel Yunnan > can you hold mutiple visas

@Trk11 - legally you need to be on a student visa to study just like you need to be on a work visa if you work. It issaid that some people on a 10 year visa work and/or study because they don't want to give up that visa. Just be aware that there are some pretty severe punishments for not being on the correct visa but if you did decide to take the risk you wouldn't be the first to do so.

I guess you won't need to do the visa runs for 12 months but otherwise why??

To answer the original question, the L visa will be cancelled and you'll need to makea new application. The only people who can reliably answer the second part of your question are the PSB.

@tiger good point.

I've heard people who get a mianbaoche for transporting goods or a camper conversion can't get through the annual test because they don't have the 'correct' number of seats (as per their registration). Seems silly but it wouldn't surprise me.

@Alpage you should be OK with a chrome strip. I've seen people have to take off bars and I once saw a guy strugling to remove his fibreglass bodykit. last week I saw the testing guys measuring a roof rack on a big 4x4 but he got to keep it on in the end... was wondering what all that was about. The car place near me regularly paints sports cars strange colours and adds parts so there must be a way around the regs.

@ptkm09 They also build off-road and racing trucks there so maybe they'd be worth a look. It's in the big 2nd hand car place just under the highway in Beichen. PM me for more details.

One thing I did notice is an apparent correlation between the 'winners' and those who pay to advertise on here. coincidence?

Oh, and I love the Aussie place. It deserved to get something.

@Yereth - KAT place the original post on the top of every page of the forum post and the latest posts below (even if there have been a number of pages and/or a long time between them). anyway... just an idea. i'll send you a screenshot via the contact form as i can't see how i can add it here.

i like most of the new site. good job!

a few issues:
the search function is harder to find but the tags are more user friendly. i look forward to the new search priority function (sort by date/relevance).

search terms need to be re-entered if you change the section to be searched (via the All/News/Features/Travel tabs).

could you add a function where the small images in the article can be expanded maybe by clicking on them (like Facebook)? is the gallery still here? i haven't checked.

i like the way that the forums on Kickass Torrents puts the OP's post first and the newest posts appear below it. strikes the balance i think.

just to note that the bus between Hekou and Kunming is now much faster due to the fact that buses can now travel the entire length of the highway. sleeper buses arrive in around 7 hours when you can choose to sleep on the bus until morning or opt for one of the 'fixed price' taxis that lie in wait at either end of the trip. don't know about the daytime buses. also, I was told by the border police/army that all foreigners crossing from Laocai to Hekou must now undergo extra security checks. my bags were checked at the bus station in Hekou and at the highway entrance I was taken off the bus and questioned with my hand luggage searched again.

The only place worth going for a beer in Lijiang. Small place with a super friendly vibe. Great relaxed hangout for locals and travellers alike.

a lovely place to stay with great views of Yulong xueshan (JadeDragon snow mountain) from the roof! Beautifully decorated and hosts that make you feel like family. A million miles better than most other places locally. I can't recommend this place enough.

i thought i'd give this place another try as my usual place was closed today. even though there is now more choice, i was not impressed by the menu. they do have an apparently good range of coffees for up to 80 kuai but even a basic latte is Y26 now. the drinks were OK but nothing special and certainly not worth the money. the place looked somehow cleaner too and was certainly busier! why have so many of the cafes in this area decided that it's fine to raise their prices by so much (in some cases almost double)? i doubt i'll be going back. the 2 stars are because it was just OK and they've obviously made some effort.

not a bad selection of stuff and some of the staff obviously know their way around a bike. however, the 'special' prices for foreigners and the fact that some of the staff will use a big hammer to fix anything keeps me from going back. you could do better.

I won't go there again. The yoghurt is tasty and the curries are usually ok (they seem to vary in quality depending on the day and time). What really annoys me is the fact that they can't comprehend that I order dishes to eat TOGETHER... if my curry arrives 30 minutes after all the other dishes it's not really acceptable. Then again, neither is the 1 hour wait for the rest of the food or the incorrect dishes being sent. By the way, why can't I sit on the 3rd floor until both of the other floors are packed full? Has it never occurred to them that I might want a quiet meal and, after all, I am paying for it!
