| GUESTAL | Hi Ken, I am teaching English in China, but am concerned that due to my age (61), I may eventually not be issued a visa. What is an F visa and what are the requirements? Thanks, Al |

| GUEST47131 | Is there an age restriction for English teachers coming to China...I heard rumors that 65 was the limit...or could it be up to the individual school or university? (I'm 61 and teaching English in China now) |

| GUEST47131 | I've been here for only a year and a half. I agree that some of the Chinese do not like foreigners. The air pollution here in Xinzheng, which is near ZhengZhou is really bad. For the last week we only saw the sun for an hour or so. I finally got sick, upper respiratory. The other thing I really don't care for is that they rarely obey the no smoking signs. Sometimes even the bus drivers smoke, and there is a sign right above their head. The interesting thing though are the Chinese students. I have never felt like my life made a difference until I came here. They really appreciate me teaching them English, and it is so satisfying. This is something I never experienced in over 30 years of working in the US. I have a Chinese girlfriend and I have found that they are lots of fun, affectionate and passionate. I supposed it could lead to marriage, but right now am not sure. |

| Its June 16, 2009. I'm a Asian American living in Los Angeles, CA area and thinking about retiring in China with my wife ( a former native ) Guangzhou area. I too am interested to hear about quality of Health Care and costs. Buying a "flat" and the overall costs of living. Is the pollution so prohibitive ( I have allergies etc and aversion to mosquitos ). What are people doing to pass the time ? teaching ? Are there "places" where expats congregate etc ? LA Guy |

| GUEST25107 | Hi there, Apparently nobody has asked after 2007 concerning retirement in China. Thus I'm the one now asking this question in September 2009. I live as permanent resident in Hong Kong and I'm still working in my age of 67 in a Hong Kong Chinese owned company in Hong Kong with a factory in Shanghai. I've tried moving to Shanghai and working there but's impossible regarding age restrictions (60 years for foreigners applying for working visa and residence permit and 65 years for those called foreign specialists). OK, I've traveled for business purpose the past 10 years through entire China and I love this country and the people there. Now I was thinking about retiring in China but I can't find any information regarding this matter. Maybe it's simply not possible? The funny thing is that the arrival card one receives at the immigration has multiple choices to tick the right box regarding the purpose of the visit and one says "settle down/retire". Thus, this must have a reason or wrong interpreted (translated)? I wonder if someone living as retiree can give me the right answer? Rednuf, Hong Kong |
