 Asked by Mr. Russ(China)
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.

 Answered by Mr.Charles
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.


  Asked by Ms. Lily(USA)
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.

 Answered by Mrs. Lorna(USA)
Yes, you can extend the duration of your visa at the Exit & Enter Department of Beijing Public Security Bureau before it expires.


  Asked by Ms. Marja(AUSTRALIA)
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 :)

 Answered by Mr. Mac
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.

Would these routes qualify for 144-hr visa?
I'm trying to organise a business trip and have the following flight plans to research:

UK - Tokyo (with potentially a 2 hour layover in Shanghai on way to Tokyo) - Seoul - Shanghai - UK

UK - Tokyo (with potentially a 2 hour layover in Shanghai on way to Tokyo)- Shanghai - UK

UK - Tokyo (with potentially a 2 hour layover in Shanghai on way to Tokyo) - Seoul - Shanghai - UK

Oslo - Tokyo (with a 3 hour layover in Doha, Qatar) - Seoul - Shanghai - Oslo (with a layover in Doha, Qatar)

Singapore - Tokyo - Seoul - Shanghai - Singapore

Would these fit the 144-hour transit visa?

For the option that the flight to Tokyo has a 3 hour layover in Shanghai - would this mean the 144-hour starts when they land in Shanghai for the layover?

Many thanks

For a long-term study in China, you will need a X1 visa and the regular visa fee is NGN 10,500 for a single entry and 15,800 for double entries. Except for the visa fee, you also need to pay the regular service fee charged by the CVASC, which is NGN 36,800.
