Travel › Re: Pls Help Me From Transit Visa Wahala Before Chinese Visa Expires in 3days Time by cue64: 7:05am On Dec 07, 2020

Deola2020:
Hello Nairalanders.....A close friend of mine was to return to Nigeria from china early this year but due to covid-19 pandemic decided to stay back a bit till everything was clear...

Fast forward to now after booking for his flight ticket which has a stopover in hongkong,he was denied boarding a plane in Shanghai cos he doesn't have an hongkong transit visa which he never knew of or told and his visa expires in 3days and getting the hongkong transit visa takes 4 weeks.....I didn’t see this on time, tell him if he can come to GX the visa can be extended even if he overstays, the immigration are currently lenient with visas during this period, there’s no lying to be scared about

Please experienced nairaland travellers and guys currently residing in China, please what countries can he has stop-overs or connecting flights to that doesn't require transit visa... .

Pls help urgently so he won't overstay his visa or have issues with Chinese authorities because he is operating under a low budget after expending so much to exorbitant flight tickets rates and other Chinese authorities wahala....

Please I need y'all advice before I book another flight ticket for him before 7am Shanghai time

Guys i’m Sorry it’s not that I choose not to update or abandon the thread, this seriously are just trying times, my iPhone 11promax just suddenly started rebooting by itself over and over again, so over the weekend I went to Shenzhen to fix my girlfriend’s phone and had it checked too, they couldn’t find any fault and gave it back to me, I called apple, explained to them they asked me to do an update which I did, still same, called them back again they said do a restore, which I painstakingly did even though I lost all my data cos I haven’t done a backup in a while, the problem is still same even then at apple repair center now, they are confused.. for the past 2 weeks now I have been like a dead person. So please anyone who also knows anything I can do please share... I have a lot written on my notepad that I wanted to post but the phone took all, now I have to start writing again. But i’ll Definitely find a way to make this thread fun again please bear with me

This building is called Guotai, it’s the Nigerian building in Guangzhou, and it’s around the leather and bags Market.. if you ever visit Guangzhou be sure to visit this building, at every time of the day, you’d always find Nigerians all around, some own restaurants, some won boutiques, some own Cargos...

When I came to china newly the first thing I wondered is why this people don’t build houses like us, I mean like block of flats, bungalows, duplexes, since then one thing I learnt is that they always knew even though that had enough spaces, they always knew that their population was going to explode and they wouldn’t be able to keep up if the built wider, so they decided to build higher instead in other to create more spaces, that’s where there are so many sky scrapers everywhere. And trust me it was a very smart decision
Cos with how many this people are I doub they would have been able to fit them all in this country. This is one thing Africans lack we can’t even make a fiscal 2 year plan ahead, when this people are already projecting for the next 20years

Off topic discussion, so I just wanted to say this, not in a bad light but I feel like Nigeria is one major reason Africa is backwards I’m saying this cos the things I have experienced with other Africans and the way I was brought up there’s too much differences
Okay one of the thing is I have lived with Nigerians before now, and everyday we always had problems, from very silly things thAt shouldn’t even cause problem.. so recently I have been living with some Angolan flatmates and there’s a huge difference things I actually thought mattered a lot actually don’t even matter to them, for example, they are way older than me, and each time my girlfriend cooks and we serve them food, I always push my girlfriend to go get the. Dishes and wash it, often times they don’t allow her, even sometimes when they serve us food, they take the dishes before we even know, and when there are dirty dishes they don’t even feel shy to wash them and clean up, even when I insist on doing it they say No, so why I decided to write this is, the Angola consular actually visited them in the house one time, and he was served food, they happily ate like kids and when he was done he took his plate to the kitchen by himself and washed it. You needed to see how stunned I was. I just thought about it, like if even a local government chairman I Nigeria visits your house and you give him food even the way they eat, he wouldn’t eat that way talk more of taking his own dishes. Staying with these guys has thought me that they actually don’t want someone doing for them what they can do for themselves. And that so many things we see as forbidden or very bad doesn’t even matter to them, trust me at this point I’m learning and if my girlfriend cooks and brings food for us to eat after eating I don’t feel shy to take the dishes and clean them up, I sometimes love cooking and cooking while my girlfriend is still asleep and waking her. To brush and come to eat is actually very fun to me now and trust me we can move forward if we actually do away with some silly entitled mentality..

For public transportation, you can get a multi card, with which you can Take a bus or the metro, if you don’t have a card you can pay by Alipay or wechat if you don’t have Alipay or wechat, for buses you can pay by cash it’s 2Rmb if you put more than that, you can’t get your change, but for Metro, if you don’t have the metro app wechat or Alipay, you can goto the ticket vending machines inside the metro, click on the closest line to where you’re headed to and it will show you a sign to pay by cash or wechat you pick cash, and you have to put a single 5 or 10 notes or the amount of coin for the ticket, the longest distance between the city of Gz by metro cost 5Rmb so if you put 10rmb note, the machine calculates no and the refund you your balance
Attached is a picture of one type of the vending machines, they have different types

OP has the right to give out information he wants and what he posts on his thread but I understand that most of the people following this thread are here because they want to relocate, study abroad or start a business. To make this thread more fun if OP agrees I can answer all the questions about visa process, jobs, admissions or business to the best of my knowledge. Please note that I am not an agent and if anybody sends me a DM I won't reply. All DMs can be sent to OP...... This is my 4th year in China and I believe I have gained some experience. We are all adults there's no need to throw insults on ourselves. Thank you

bro it’s not that I don’t have an idea for visa issues or I dont want to talk about it, 1st you of alla people should know that not all info about china can be put on a public forum, 2, if we start answering visa questions right now that’s all we will have to do, and forget about the stories we are trying to tell to keep people entertained. mind you if you read a few pages back, you’d see where someone said he stumbled on this thread from google, we don’t know who is reading and some infos I really can’t give in a public forum, if you feel like you want to open your thread though, it’s better and I’ll chip in a thing or 2 that I feel I can

Black man's way of thought!

OP, do you know what is called creation of values?

Do you know the relationship between creation of values and money making? The value you create here is giving out information about how you got to China. As already said by you that your migration was cheap and easy, kindly give this information. It's called value creation.

This information may be at other places like Chima embassy, however it will be diluted.

It's not good to live in a white man's land and still exhibit blackmind thoughts.

Asking for DM before giving out useful information is a blackmind thought.

I'm Aduhube.

you with the white mans way of thought, so what if I talk about the link I used on a public forum and it gets blocked? Or the people involved gets problems? The problem with us Nigerians is that we always claim to be very smart and we always try to act smart, but in true sense we can’t even use that smartness to develop ourselves, it’s my thread and I can decide what to write and what not to, nobody is paying me to write anything, if I tell u I don’t feel comfortable writing certain things, you either understand and read along or take your entitled head somewhere else

Living in china for the past 1year plus has thought me so many things and one of it is the fact Coding is the future, weda we like to admit it or Not. Technology is the only way forward, and coding is at the forefront.
The advancement of things I see everyday makes me marvel with excitement, if only africa can forget about ethnics and religious nonsense and focus more on technological advancements.
Some Chinese people are so lazy, but their technology has made their laziness seem like a norm, they are always thinking of something new to create in order to make life very easy for them, here in china you can basically sit inside your house and say for next 1month I’m not going anywhere, all you have to do is Meituan anything you want, whatever it is you’re looking for it’s online. I sometimes just go through 1688, taobao And tindodo, which are apps where you can order things from, and the things i see this people create just makes me think like Africa we are our own problem, this people create basically everything you need in life to make it easier. And the fact that they don’t need to rely on any country to do so makes it even more better, whatever they see outside they come home and create their own version and then the good thing is their people always loves and value their own Chinese made.
Even for cars there are American, European, and Japanese spec cars here, driving by kids that can make you go into depression ; but I tell u what there are more Chinese made cars than any other spec here and those Chinese made cars are super dope that If we have them in Nigeria we wouldn’t even need those tokunbo we spend our money on, And then there are also some car companies that perfectly copies American spec cars, that if you see them you’d think they are American cars but they are Chinese made, and example of such is LandWind.. and Chinese cars manufacturer that perfectly copied landrover’s Range Rover.

..
First, brother adu the OP created the thread to share his experience living in China. Not to share immigration tips. If you need info on immigrating to China, please visit chinese embassy.
Second, travelling to other country is not all about going there to make money. Travelling is EDUCATION.
Third, it is good to write what your audience wants, but it is not necessary.
…
OP is not in the right position to talk about visa issues and even education issues. Why?
OP didnt tell us if he is a diplomat, travel agent or if he works at an embassy.
OP didnt tell us if he is a student in China, even if OP were a student, the route OP took to gain admission might be totally different from that of others.
…
Look DanielHouston tried to please people in his thread, he wrote on what they asked for, but the thread didnt end well, same with Munichlover.
Please let OP post what feels good to him, and if you do not agree with OP, know that OP is posting from his own personal experience.

i personally like this reply, reason being that you spoke everything in my head, I was thinking of a way to perfectly reply him but couldn’t find 1 this right here is what I would have said, like I said. The way I came here was pretty easy and straight forward. But that was for me I can’t say the same for you, and I can’t post the same here on a public forum, I want to share experiences of daily livings here not to talk about migration that way the thread can last as long as we want it to be.. thank you very much for this reply once again

Like I said before, china doesn’t have states, they have provinces and municipalities, and the cities and districts, the Province i live in is called Guangdong, and in Under Guangdong province you have many cities like Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Huizhou, shantou and a lot more, I have lived in Shenzhen before, and I will talk about there a little as time goes on, for now I live in GZ so I’m talking about GZ for now Gz is like the capital of Guangdong, and under GZ you have districts like Tienhe, Liwan, Baiyun, Yuexiu, hangpu, panyu, Nansha, Huadu, zengcheng and conghua.
Tienhe is like the Capital District Of GZ, a very bubbly place, with lots of high rise buildings shopping malls 5atar hotels beautiful metro station 5 star restaurants A huge sport center and a big stadium, where Guangzhou Evagrande plays their home matches. It’s a very nice place to live in that’s if you can afford it grin
