| Kevin, contact the UK dept that handles pensions (sorry have forgotton which it is) and it has a special office that handles overseas pensions, the website has plenty of info. You should keep an account in UK and a credit card as standby ad for paying for things at home. You can easily open a bank a/c in China. Emigrating? Are you certain of your visa options? |

| Hello Paul, I guess, you emphasis on the word "emigrant" cause you learn much about it. Yes , no way to get citizenship. But you can long live in China. My uncle (Civil Engr) living in China with my Chinese Aunty , they have 2 kids. They both was consultant of Chinese construction firm worked abroad. Their present life is so shining. |

| Yes, it is hard to actually 'emigrate'...though if you have relatives you may be able to, tho true permanent residency is hard to get I believe. Pricek1 has the relatives so he is fortunate :) |

| anyone knows how to get a "permit forever" if you are married to a chinese woman? |

| What I heard is that there is no such thing. You will apply for a residency which is renewed annually as long as you remain together. from one CCTV9 story it seems Perm residency appears to be a special status only given to ppl who have given many years service to China. But my info is 'hearsay' |
