can i apply for permanent residencyother type visa to not to worry about leaving

Question

My husband has diplomat status here in China and is working for an embassy, however, I am not from his same country and have an American passport, thus, his embassy is unable to process me a diplomat passport. His embassy has told me they can only process a diplomat passport for me if I renounce my American citizenship, which I do not want to do. Therefore, even though we are already living here in an apartment and our children have been attending school in Beijing, I have only been given 90 day tourist visas to remain here.

Tina, you have very little chance of getting Chinese permanent residence permit. You may try to find a job in China and apply for a Z type. When you have the Z type, you can get the temporary residence permit that may allow you to stay longer than 90 days. It depends on how long you contract is with your employer.
