What we can and cannot help with

We would rather lose a sale than sell you something we can't deliver.

We can

  • Help you choose a city and neighbourhood
  • Write a personal plan for your stay and first week
  • Explain payments, SIM, transport and registration
  • Give realistic cost ranges based on current local prices
  • Point you to official sources on entry rules, with dates
  • Suggest licensed providers when you need one
  • Coordinate with local contacts where we genuinely have them
  • Answer questions in English, and work locally in Mandarin and Cantonese

We cannot

  • Apply for, speed up or guarantee visas or entry
  • Book tours, flights or hotels as a travel agent
  • Find, rent, sell or sign property for you
  • Give legal, tax, immigration or medical advice
  • Register companies or act as your business agent
  • Promise any outcome that depends on a third party
  • Help you get around Chinese law or regulations
