Ms.de boer, yes, you can also apply for work visa if your husband has obtained the China work visa, the required documents for you to apply for work visa as dependant of your husband are:
1. Accompanying family members must ba an immediate relative of the person working in China (i.e. child or spouse).

2. Proof of relationship - original NSO birth certificate or marriage contract.

3. An original Visa Notification issued by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Your husband's employer can help you to get this document.

4. Copy of your husband's valid residence visa, working visa, working card and passport information page.

5. All Philippine passport holders (18 years old and above), who will go to China for the first time must submit an original NBI clearance valid for travel abroad.

6. Applicants who are 7 years old and above shall provide a Physical Examination Certificate for Foreign Citizen (physical exam forms, guidelines and list of accredited hospitals are available at the visa counter).

7. Applicant's passport with blank pages and at least 6 months validity left before expiration.

8. A truly and completely filled application form affixed with one passport-size or 2x2 colored photo, with white background, full-face front view, and no hat. Photo must be glued on the application form. Stapled pictures will not be accepted. Scanned photos will also not be accepted.

9. The emergency contact information page in the applicant's passport should be filled out and photocopied.

10. Other documents required by the visa officers if necessary.

Thank you, Mrs. Maria for the prompt reply. The information you provided is very helpful. Would you by any chance know the documents needed if the situation were reversed? Meaning, if I am the one who has obtained the working visa in China, what documents would my husband (who is a South African and in South Africa at the moment) need to apply for work visa as my dependent?

Thank you and I look forward to your response.

The required documents are similar, the only difference is you should send your husband the copy of your passport, valid work visa or residence permit, your husband don't need to provide the document 5, document 6.
