how to stay in china for long term for memy son. my partner will work there.

Question

My partner will be working in China for two years. Our children and myself will come along with him. We are not married. What type of visum can I obtain? Do we need to get married to obtain a long term visum?

Emma · Answer

You can only obtain a tourist visa with 30 days stay duration because you are not married, you and your son apply for tourist visa as if your partner doesn't exist, you need to get married to obtain a long-term visa, once you get married, you and your son can apply for a Z visa as accompanying family dependents of personnel working in China. You should provide proof of kinship, e.g. marriage certificate, birth certificate and a copy of the Z-visa as well as Residence Permit of the person working in China.
