I was told that it is not possible to get the Z-visa in Hong Hong without a Hong Kong residency and that i will have to go back to my home country to apply.
Has anyone successfully applied for a Z-Visa in Hong Kong in the last few weeks?
I remember a friend taking her cat home and she had to go to some
sanitary department for animals where she got all the needed paperwork done. Your vet should be able to give you the address. For a little fee she also got a paper that said that the cat passed the necessary quarantine. ;)
The department is called sth like jianyizhan, 检疫站, quarantine station near Dianchi lake.
Kunming urban city department had/has a collaboration with the ETH Zuerich. there's definitely information in English available, not sure how recent. Urban development plans usually go over more than 20 years, so it doesn't matter if it's a few years old.
There's international companies involved to help with waste water recycling, those reports as well are written in English.
The issue is more how much do the developers and real estate companies stick to the rules rather than if there's any consideration of those topics. (in my experience working as designer for developers for several years).
urban heat island effect is not considered a real or very urgent issue, especially not with a lake that size nearby and being located on a plateau. But that's just what i was told, and it was either true, either in favour of my employers to say that, or they simply had no idea and needed to say something.
if you go to the urban planning department next to the PSB (the one mentioned earlier by gokmg), get an appointment, bring an interpreter and see what they say. in some meetings there, we met ppl with excellent English. i found the ppl there very friendly and helpful. Urban planning design is not a national secret.
Kunming does have a future development plan and is well aware of their issues. as any other city in the world, economic values and ideal urban design do not always go together for a long time.
klingt immer besser, allerdings wohne ich am anderen Ende der Stadt :( und das ist mir glaub ein bissle zu weit. Viel Spass jedenfalls und jede Menge Freibier! Cheers
very nice read and very interesting to follow the development of the artists when placed into a different environment. The Kunming-Zürich partnership is a great way of connecting cultures!
Slice of Heaven is one of my favourite places to hang out in Kunming. Excellent cakes, great deal on Pizzas on Fridays and always a nice chat with staff and the owner. Food? I definitely recommend the Moussaka!
(Also if I ever need help with Chinese speaking, they are always super helpful)
