Emigration to China
Willy The Londoner:
I was told that you have to apply to marry and that notice is posted in China for 21 days. Before you can apply you have be in China for the 21 days previous. If you leave China in those first 21 days the period then restarts when you return. However if you take your single certificate with you plus a notorised declaration then you only need to have photos taken together in China and can get married in a day or so.
For residency you may have to start that in Ireland. Much the same process as UK - you have to provide the document that sets out any convictions you may have whether this is none or a listful.
As far as I can see you need paperwork from the PSB in china before you can start your application.
I was at the public security bureau yesterday and will be going back soon to start my application for permanent residency and will keep you informed of the process. Ted who is going to be in Guangzhou will probably do the same from the US angle.
Being married does not enable you to work you need a residency or work visa for that.
Medicals no longer required unless your female under 50 and close to where I can perfom one. ( Can't you keep serious for two minutes!!!!!!) :icon_cool:

Yes I know UK is a different "Island" then Ireland but in a quick search most likely the UK and Ireland have the same rules as far as China is concerned. The US doesn't have the 21 day wait aka Ed W's marriage right off the plane. What visa's for work and living you'll find in the Chn Embassy link and then what the Irish gov. will let you have. It's a combination of the two you would need. Oh yeah and a letter of invite.

Vince the 21 days is a Chinese Law. Not UK. It applies to anyone USA, Canadia, Fiji and Christmas island and even Chinese people. Best advice is take your paperwork with you and you can marry in days just like Ed did.

Thanks Willy, please keep posting your updates, I'm reading with rapt attention!
Irishman:
Thanks Ted, next question is about medicals!
I read on the Irish Chinese Embassy website that I need to get a "PHYSICAL EXAMINATION RECORD FOR FOREIGNER" form filled out if I intend to stay longer than a year which of course I do. The amount of stuff on that to be tested is insane and some of it makes little sense in English - one of the questions is "infection" to which you answer yes or no haha!!
I assume Chinese doctors would be more familiar with that so maybe getting it done over there is a better idea? Have you had any experience with that side of things?

married we will then start the process of permanent residency. which is to go back
to the PSB and start more paperwork. the first one is 600 yuan and second is 1200
yaun. so all in all it will be 1800 yaun.
5) then i just sit back and wait till we get the ok or approval

Even the police are ripping you off Ted. My temporary residents certificate cost me a smile and my telephone number to the police woman.
But then i've seen your photo so 600 RMB is probably cheap in your case!!!!

Irishman,
that has to be done there for us from the USA so i am sure
it is the same for you. i was told its just some blood tests
and a chest exray . and a lot of questions to which the answer is
no when your there. and oh yes of course some money.
Ted
