[quote=GUEST23455,371145]I have never read so much confused misinformation in my life. I am British and married to a lady from Nanning. We moved back to the UK in order for my Wife to qualify as a UK citizen and then moved lock, stock and barrely back to China on a Tourist (Family & Relatives). Shortly after our arrival my Tourist Visa was converted to a residence permit at the local ministry for Exit and Entry. Actually, they gave me a little green boolet. I need to retain this status for 5 years where upon I will be granted permanent right of abode with Nationality if I so desire. As I never intend returning to boring, rip off Britain, I guess I might just avail myself of this offer. There is a guide to this process available in multiple languages from the afore mentioned Ministry in Guangzhou where we applied for residency. I did not have to supply any references or proof of anything whatsoever. All it took was was our Marriage Certificates (little red books :) ) from the Court in Nanning. Oh yes, being married to a Chinese National DOES give YOU extra rights and certainly preferencial treatment. Either that or I was just lucky or the fact that my Wife my wife has relatives in good government possitions may have helped? All I can say is it took a mere 10 working days to complete all formalities. [/quote]
