australian citizen visiting chinese girlfriend in mainland china

Question

I work remotely and I would like to live with my girlfriend who resides in mainland China. How possible is this and what is the maximum length of stay?

John · Answer

If you are not married yet, you will have no relationship with her in term of laws, so I'm afraid you cannot obtain a long-term visa depending on her. In your case, you may only qualify for a tourist visa, which usually allows a stay up to 30 days; but you can extend it for a few more days before it expires.
