I'm Canadian and have been married to a Chinese lady got two years. We got married and we now both live here. What is the procedure for me to qualify for a long term (5 year) permament visa if I plan to stay longer here? I have now been living here for more than four years.
It is very difficult to get a permanent visa. Please read the Regulations on Permanent Residence of Aliens on the website https://www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/visa/refusal.htm, then you know the regulations are so strict and rigorous.
Hi, I'm a US passport holder. My 1 year Chinese Visa will expire soon, but I need to stay longer for another five days. I don't think I'll have time to renew it prior to my trip.
So my question here is, can I extend or renew it while in Beijing? I thank you in advance for your prompt response.
Yes, you can extend the duration of your visa at the Exit & Enter Department of Beijing Public Security Bureau before it expires.
I am a German passport holder with a working visa for Australia, wishing to travel soon - is it possible for me to obtain a visa from one of the consulates in Australia (or possibly new Zealand, as I may be traveling here in the next few months)?? Thanks :)
Yes, you can apply from one Chinese consulate in Australia which is near to you because you hold Australian work visa which permits you stay in Australia for a long time. If you apply in New Zealand, you maybe can't get it because you just a temporary visitors to New Zealand. Please bear in mind that single entry tourist L is only valid for 3 months, please don't apply for it too early.
Can we provide the centre with just one envelope for two passports or do we need to provide two envelopes?
There are like 18 of us travelling together (group tour).
The obvious one, which is my spouse which I know I need to add the information, but how about the others?
Do I need to list all the cities that i am going to under Section 6.1 (J,K,L,M,N) or can I just put in the date I enter China and the date I leave China?
What do I put as my highest level of education? The high school one or the 2 years of university?
Also, I can't remember the exact date when I got my diploma or the last day of university because I'm 50+ years old now. I probably could try to figure out the year and month at the most but not the day. So how do I go about filling out the date part?
