Can Filipinos come to China to apply for a marriage certificate? How long can I stay in China after marriage?

After we stay in the Philippines for too long, we will meet our favorite partner. If we bring our favorite partner into China, what procedures do we need to go through? What kind of visa do we need for our Philippine girlfriend to get married in China? Is it okay to live in China?

Can Filipinos come to China to apply for a marriage certificate?

A: Yes, Filipinos need to apply for an entry visa when entering China. When applying for a Chinese visa, Filipinos need to provide the original passport and the entry embassy will approve the visa according to the information provided. After entering the country through legal means, they can go to the man's local police station to apply for relevant registration, and then they can obtain a marriage certificate.

When Filipinos enter China, they can apply for tourist visa, work visa, family visit visa, business visa, study visa, etc. After having a legal entry status, the applicant needs to take his own single certificate, no criminal record, and financial certificate. After these procedures need to be notarized, he can apply for a foreign-related marriage office and obtain a marriage certificate for two people.

How long can I stay in China after getting married?

To apply for a marriage certificate in China, you need to reach the legal age in China. You only need to provide complete certification procedures to obtain the corresponding marriage certificate, but the marriage certificate has nothing to do with the visa. If you want to stay in China for a long time, you still need to change your visa. After two people get married in China, they can transfer the type of visa to a family visit visa, so that they can stay in China for at least 180 days, and then apply for extension according to actual needs.

In fact, those who want to live in China for a long time after marriage can apply for immigration or directly naturalize to China. After becoming a Chinese citizen, it is more convenient for two people to live in China.

Nowadays, there are many people handling foreign-related marriages, so our country's Civil Affairs Bureau has a special foreign-related marriage office, which can provide corresponding services for everyone. However, if you want to live in China for a long time, you still need to give priority to the type of visa.
