apply for chinese Q1visa in ulan bator

Mike, the required documents are your passport, filled 2013 version application form, a recent passport photo, an invitation letter from your wife, your wife's Chinese ID card, your marriage certificate. If your marriage certificate is acquired in your own country. You have no choice but go back to apply because it has to be certified by your Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then authenticated by Chinese embassy.

If you register your marriage in China, then you can bring the above documents together with your resident permit for study and temporary accommodation registration form to apply at local entry and exit management bureau. However, it is still possible that the officers there ask you to apply from Chinese embassy in your own country.
