[quote=PICKLE,317131]Hi,

I'm considering emigrating from the UK to China. China is one of a number of places I'm considering.

The reasons: Sick of UK. Running online business so can run from anywhere and income would take me further in China.

Questions:
 1. Which of the following areas would be most recommended by people on this forum: Beijing, Guangzhuo, Hong Kong - Kowloon, Pudong, Shanghai or Shenzhen.
 2. Medical care in China [specifically above areas] for ex-pats and pricing - or links please.
 3. VISA. I know there is a 'D' visa. How do I go about getting permission from the relevant Public Security Bureau for permission to reside in the relevant area? How likely is it that I will encounter problems in renewing the VISA after 12 months? Are there any other VISA's that would be easier to get that would allow me to permanently live there?
 4. Marriage. I am currently single. If I get married to a Brit or another foreigner [whose country does have amicable relations with China] are there any problems I may encounter? Similarly, if I marry a Chinese?

All help would be much appreciated.

Ta,
Jonathan[/quote]
