can i change my student visa to a residence visa if i marry someone with residence visa?

Question

Hi,  I'm gettng married soon in China and my husband (French) is holding a residence visa. Can I change my student visa to residence visa too? What are the other options to have when I'm married to someone holding a residence visa? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks a million!

I think there is no need to change your student visa type. After coming to China, one need to change the student visa to a temporary resident permit, which allows one stay for a relatively longer time in China. The residence visa of your will-be husband also has a duration of validity, which is the same with your temporary residence permit. Also, if you change the visa type, no one can guarantee the new one will allow you to study in China.
