find a job in china

[idasee93]

What I'm wondering is what rights I get if I marry a Chinese man. How long could I stay in China and would I be able to go there and get a job?

Basically none.

 

You would be able to get a family visit visa, but that does not allow you to work legally.

If you want a job, marry an American or European.

So, if a woman from another country marries a Chinese man (who is from China, and still lives there) and she moves to China to be with him, she can't work legally?

[anonymoose]

She can if she gets a work visa. But being married to a Chinese person has no bearing on getting a work visa.

[James3]

Ah, that makes sense.

 

Well, is there such a thing as it being any easier for her to get a work visa, than if she wasn't married to a Chinese man? And is the length of the visa any longer, than if she wasn't married to a Chinese? Or, perhaps, there's absolutely no affect at all? (Which is I think what you're saying...)

[anonymoose]

It's not easier because the work visa is organised through the company that she intends to work for, and the length is also determined by the length of employment, though, as far as I know, the maximum length is one year, so longer-term employment requires yearly visa extensions. Regulations change constantly though.

Pretty much being married will get you the equivalent of a long term tourist visa. Nothing particularly special at all.
