[quote=GUEST77546,543127]Erico, she must be a Chinese, right? If so, it won’t be difficult for you to get married in China. Not too many documents will be required. For your, your passport and valid visa, your birth date, single certificate or divorce paper. And you need to get your birth date and single certificate certified by your national foreign affairs department, then authenticated by Chinese embassy in your country. Then, you need to get them translated by assigned translation companies in China and then notarize them at local notary office. Finally, you go to local civil affairs bureau to register your marriage.

Please read this page to learn about details on marriage in China.

Yes, you can apply for an university to study Chinese. If you are enrolled, your university will help you apply for X type. It depends on how long you study Chinese. In your case, I think you will get a X2 type which allows you stay as long as 180 days. Again, the consular officers decide how long duration you will get according to your study period in China.

If you don’t finish your courses during the duration of stay listed on your visa, you can ask for an extension with the help of your school at least 7 days before your current X type expires. There is no need for you to exit mainland to apply one. However, if you were told that you couldn’t extend your X type, then you need to go out of mainland China to apply for another one instead. Anyway, please don’t worry about this because your university can help you with these problems.

If you get married with her, then you may try to apply for Q1 type. It allows you to stay more than 180 days in China. Your marriage certificate, an invitation letter from your Chinese wife and a copy of her Chinese ID card are required. And I am afraid that you need to go back to Portugal to apply for the Q1 type. Anyway, you can go to local entry and exit management bureau to confirm this. If they told you couldn’t apply in mainland China, then you have no choice but go back to apply for the Q1 type. By the way, you can get married when you hold a X type.

It’s true that you can’t take any job if you hold X or Q type because it’s illegal. However, many foreigners actually work in China without having Z visas. They are fine as long as they are not reported to local entry and exit management bureau.
