[quote=GUEST68972,373303]If you are british then you need the certificate of non impediment. This comes from the registraar of your local  council. It costs £30 and this must be certified by a solictor or notary and  the foreign office at milton keynes - another £55 and finally by the chinese embassy legal department. They also require  divorce papers again certified by a solcitor and the foreign office .
The fo will place an apostile certifying the papers are genuine. The whole process takes time up to 3 weeks for the certificate, 10 days for the chinese embassy. You then have to get your photos in china and the other party prove eligibility, Remember the visa will cost £630 in china and a further £2000 in two years time for permanet residence  - the spouse visa only lasts 2 years. Obviously your english documents hjave to be translated for the civic marriage bureau in china. I would check with them what they need as it does seem to differ. the one that i report is for Wuhan. I wish you well it is an expensive business - i know as i am going througn this at the moment[/quote]
