About:China Family Reunion Visa

Q2 Renewable?

Essentially I wanted to know if the Q2 is renewable, or if not, can you upgrade to a Q1 visa once you are in China?

Hi, Jack, it is possible to extend the Q2 type or upgrade it to a Q1 one within mainland China. However, if possible, why not apply for a Q1 directly when you are doing the application? It saves a lot of troubles.

Thank you for your answer. The problem is I need to get back to PRC asap, and as I have never done it before, I just can't believe they would give me a 1 year type to basically do nothing, especially considering at the moment I am unemployed. So for me the safe route is the q2, or am I being too over cautious? Do q1 applications ever get rejected?

1. It definitely depends on your nationality (& even the embassy you're applying in)! I've the experience of tougher requirements in the Chinese embassy in an European country (A) while their embassy in the neighboring country (B) still within the EU didn't ask for those docs at all. In your case, they may/may not ask for your proof of solvency.

2. Changing your Q2 to Q1 depends on the local Public Security Berea. Rules and regulations are interpreted and applied differently in different cities. You can ONLY go the PSB of the city that your sponsor's ID card is issued in.
For example in Beijing they ask you to show you have stable income for Q1, but in one other city you can only show your account balance... while in some other cities you don't even have to show the latter.

*In case stricter requirements apply to your case, you can extend your Q2, and they may ask you provide a certificate of bank account balance (in a Chinese bank) with a certain amount of money.
