About:Chinese Temporary Residence Permit

I am a US citizen working in China on a residence permit. How do I get residence permit for my wife?

My wife and I had our marriage registered in Tianjin just last month. My wife is back in Russia (she is a Russian citizen), and has been here in China for last year and a half on a tourist visa. We now want to get her a residence permit (as my spouse). Must she do this in Russia, or can it be done the next time she comes to China?
Please detail the exact procedure we must follow to get her a residence permit so she will not have to travel ech month.
Thanks,
Peter

Peter, she'd better apply for a S1 type from Chinese embassy in Russia. Excluding her passport, application form and a recent passport photo, you need to send her an invitation letter, copies of your passport information and visa pages, your marriage certificate (original and copy versions).

After she gets her S1 type, she needs to change it into a temporary resident permit within 30 days when she arrives in China.
