I am going to China to get married in a few months. I also want to live there with her as well. So, I have a few questions for you.

Is the type of Visa I need the 2 year multiple entry (Tourist Visa)?

Since I want to stay in China after we get married, how soon can I apply for a perm. resident, also can I apply for this when I apply for my Visa?

I read that you can also only bring $5,000.00 in cash. Can I also bring something like a cashiers check in $15,000.00, so that I can get me a place to live and a good bank?

Thank you for the help.
