[quote=GUESTSARAH BARNES,604381]Hi All, I am going to Shanghai for 2 months on an X1 student visa. My boyfriend would like to come and visit me while I am over there and stay with me in my apartment once I find one. It seems like according to the rules this is not possible. He would come over on a tourist visa. Sue to this he will need to register witin 24h of arrival either via a hotel or at the police station. The rules for registering at a police station seem to state that you must be staying with a Chinese national or a foreigner with a resident permit (that has been in china for 6 months). By the time he applies for his visa (and arrives in China) it is very unlikely that I will have a received my temporary residents permit. It therefore seems like it is impossible for him to stay with me in China. Does anyone know a way around this or if I am missing something about the rules? Thanks in advance for your help. Best Wishes, SB[/quote]
