planning to live in china

If you are just visiting you will need to obtain a Chinese tourist L. If you are moving you will need a residence visa. Make sure your passport has more than 6 months before it expires. Do this ahead of time because it can take up to 5 days. Also if moving you need all your records..birth certificate, marriage license, dental records, medical records, social security card, tax records, immunization record, country or state id card, and medical insurance records
