Dear Sir/Madam

I was previously working in Shanghai but stopped working last year. I have returned to Singapore in February this year to visit my parents for 2 months. My L visa will expire on 9th April. I will be returning to China on 9th April as my husband is working in Beijing (he is a Shanghainese). I will be staying in China for 1 year with my husband. Pls advise whether I need to apply for visa again to stay in China for 1 year. If yes, can I apply in Singapore? If no, what procedures do I need to do when I return to China, so that I can stay in China continuously for 1 year with my husband without working? Pls kindly advise asap as I will need time to make arrangements. Thanks.
