ANNAT Points: Join Date: May 20, 2007 Status: offline	Hi there, we are travelling from NZ and intend to work as English Teachers in Changchun. We have a 16 year old daughter but we are not married. We have been offered work and I can get a Z visa. The agency has stated that my partner can only get the F visa. But how long does he have to stay out of the country in order to renew his visa? If we are going as a family will it be easier to say we are married? Will this make any difference to the type of visa he and my daughter can get?

There should be a space on the visa application form for dependent family members. There was last time I did a visa run, anyway. Can't help with your partner, though, sorry.

Still not as costly as going home though.

You said you both intend to work. I assume that at the moment your partner has not obtained a job. There are so many jobs that provided the partner is adequately 'qualified', you should each get a Z visa. There is plenty of time, no need to rush. Then not being married should also cease to be an issue.

( I know someone who has not declared his marital status correctly because it is none of their business, but it is difficult if you have to show a marruiage certificate. Also I recollect having to submit a divorce certificate, but it would be simpler to say single, never married).

Your daughter can get a Residence Permit as Alien employee family member. The valid period is just like yours.

Your partner can get a F visa. With it, he can continuously stay in China for 1 year without leaving China mainland.

If you and your partner are married, he can get a Residence Permit as your daughter's.
But of course he can work and ask the company to apply for a Residence Permit for him.

Residence Permit for work = previous work visa
