[quote=CARLOS,249817]Dave, You are planning to move to China. For some months or longer time?

Maybe, just maybe easier to get visa if married in China and if Your lao po lives there.

About getting married in China.
Like said above, You need a passport and a proof that You are unmarried whatever that might be. In Finland we use an international 6-language certificate. As an EU-country, maybe Your local notary office gives You that or something like that. NO blood tests required in China. 
When in China, You need a photo of You and Your lao po. It is not a wedding photo, but it is put to Your wedding diploma Any photo shop there can take it. Normal clothing to that unless You want something else.

Your certificate must also be translated in Chinese.
What papers Your lao po needs, I don´t know, but I´m sure she will. 
When papers are ready, then go to marriage office and get married. Prepare to spend all day to that.

If You and Your lao po choose to have Chinese wedding, be sure You know what is talked about every time You think talk about money or something that costs money. They - not her family - but all other (wedding photo studio in front of all) sure know how to move Your yuans to their pockets.

If You go Chinese wedding all the way (Chinese way) sure will not be easy, but sure will be one of a kind experience.
If You can afford it, then just float by the river and enjoy.[/quote]
