 | You have few automatic rights to stay. You cannot work unless you meet the normal requirements which would get you a work visa (Z) or perhaps a business visa (F). If you are not eligible for these you apply for a tourist visa (family re-union) which is typically 12 months but might be less, though I have also I have heard of 2 years. You then have no rights to work or study. Some foreigners start a business through their wife/husband but expect to pay off the local officials. |

| GUEST13227 | OK, well I have a good one for everyone, and I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. I live in Ningbo with my wife(Chinese national), but I'm having a serious problem with this HuKou situation. My wife is from Guangzhou, and moved here a year ago to live with me, and help me out with my Representative office set up here in Ningbo. Problem I'm having is that she can't switch her Hukou, and all she keeps telling me is that the only solution, is to buy a property in Ningbo, which I seem to have great difficulty believing. Hell if it's that hard to obtain a Hukou, she might as well apply for Canadian residency, I think that'll be easier. |

| Believe your wife! Switching the Hukou is not easy. It can take 30 years. Kids are denied schooling and workers are exploited all because of this system. I believe it is related to city based finances and a desire to stop too many people moving from the less desirable to the more desirable areas (ie poor to wealthy), and perhaps it was used as a means of control in what was a ighly controlled society, but the systeem remains. Maybe some Chinese can comment further. It's one of the things you have to accept if you want to live in China. Of course, you might find that you are treated more favourably if you just happen to takle a few ffficials to dinner and buy them some gifts. But watch out, remember what happened to the Australian Hu Chern! |

| GUESTDAVID | I am an American citizen and more then likely will marry a Chinese woman when I am on a tourist visa. When married ,what kind of visa do I qualify for, and what is the longest I can stay with her in China before I have to and leave apply for a new visa? Furthermore, would I have to leave China and then return. Hong Kong isn't far from where we would live in Zhanjiang. I would appreciate advice. Thankyou |

| GUESTLUKE | David, there is actually no special visa for you, and no automatic right of residence either. Being married gives you no other visa rights, except that you can apply for an L visa for visiting family, which may help you with a long stay visa. But in that case, your L visa can normally be renewed each year in China unless you want to work or run a business and then process a permanent resident permit in China. |

| GUESTAMILY | GUEST64830, as what they said, you must pay the fine about 5000 yuan cz you have overstayed one year in China. And then back to your country to get another visa to China to get married. Otherwise, you can not permited to marry in China. A single certificate is needed for your marriage registration, which you need from your country and certified by Chinese embassy or consulate there. |
