Traveling from China to the United States to play is an opportunity that many players dream of. However, in addition to overcoming language, cultural and other barriers, players also face a series of fees and expenses.
One of the most significant costs involved in traveling to the United States is visa fees. Depending on the visa type and processing time, the fee for CBA players to apply for a U.S. visa is generally between US$1,000 and US$3,000. Not only that, players also need to pay embassy reservations and other related fees. These expenses are not a small expense for many players.
Players also need to pay round-trip airfare to the United States. Due to fluctuations in flight prices and uncertainty about the schedule, the timing of players 'bookings is critical. During peak seasons and competition periods, air tickets are often expensive. In addition, players also need to travel to and from multiple cities while in the United States, such as away games, training, etc., which also increases the round-trip expenses for players.
Third, accommodation expenses for players while playing in the United States are also essential expenses. In some cases, clubs will provide accommodation to players, but not all players can enjoy such treatment. For players who need to settle for their own accommodation, renting is the most common option. However, rents in the United States are generally high, coupled with the short-term housing needs of players, which is also a considerable expense.
Players also need to pay daily living expenses and medical insurance while in the United States. Although clubs may subsidize some players 'expenses during some games in the United States, players still have to bear their own living expenses. From food and transportation to recreational activities, these are expenses that cannot be ignored. In addition, players need to purchase medical insurance to cover their medical expenses while in the United States.
The cost for CBA players to travel to the United States to play is a considerable amount. Visa fees, air tickets, accommodation expenses and daily living expenses are all expenses that players need to bear. However, this does not stop those players with dreams and strength from going to the United States. They are willing to make every effort to realize their basketball dreams.
