About:Chinese Permanent Residence Permit
63 year old foreigner already living in China - Residency options?
In March 2018 my wife purchased a home in Tongren, Guizhou province, using money I transferred to her bank account. She is now 31 years old and a teacher.
We have been together more than 3 years, although we have only been living together in our home less than 2 years, because earlier I worked in Australia. We were married in January 2019.
Do I qualify for any form of residency? At the moment I have a 2 year multiple entry visa (Q2) and use a business visa for short term work assignments in China.
Without any residency status I can't get a driving licence or bank account and employment is more complicated.
I read somewhere that 2 year residency permits are possible for people over 60. They can be renewed.
