 | I am an American and want to marry in China. If I understand correctly all I need is my passport, which I have and a tourist visa. All other paper work is done in China. Is that correct? |

| No, RPROGER, there is much more work stateside than that. Among other things, you must bring a document that proves you are eligible to marry signed by a government official - I do not recall which official is needed. Try http://www.candleforlove.com That site is dedicated to marrying and bringing your Chinese bride home. |

| Actually, the Chinese citizen has to have more documentation than the American. If you have a passport and visa, you can get a declaration of marriageability from the American embassy. If you have been divorced I think you will need your divorce papers however. All I had was a passport and visa and it took less than 48 hours for both of us to get everything. |

| GUEST69132 | Hi there My girlfriend is from Honduras and living in China, I'm from Canada. We are planing to get married over there but have had a road block. She has been there for 8 months and listed as a resident but the marriage regisrtation office is asking for a single status affidavit to accompany her legalized divorce decree. With out a Honduran Embassy in China we are a little lost where to go. From other forums it seems the marriage process is easier for some then others. Looking for a little advice. Cheers |

| i think she should call her relatives in honduras and ask them to get this document at the local authorities and fax or send it by mail. |
