Male Filipino citizen married to Chinese national applying permanent residence.

I am a Filipino citizen and recently married to a Chinese national here in Dubai last September 2015. i had been in my wife place twice, first on June 2012 and second on October 2014. We have our own apartment now in Nanjing, Jiangsu. I will still need to work for another year or two here in Dubai. Am I qualified to apply for the permanent residence now? Is there any alternative multi entry visa valid for more than a year if permanent residence is not an option at the moment. Please advise. Thanks!
