    Answered by 1234in shenzhen q2 even you don't show any amount with your spouse account, as long the officer can determine that your marriage is more than 5 years the PSB in shenzhen don't ask any bank details or a house that should be owned by your chinese spouse , the rented house is fine, residence card of your spouse better if 10 years (shenzhen) , marriage contract,and id and 6 months is very easy to avail. But anyways every provinces and cties have its own rule and only PSB can determin which one is better but q2 can be renewed within china without leaving, same before when L spouse can be converted in Q2 without leaving china.That is base to my own experienced.

    Answered by rohan from Sri LankaHi I am married too and living in Shanghai . Well I got for 3 months first time Q2 with 0 entries and the officer said don't leave mainland at this period then they gave me again the same 3 months with 0 entries and next month I will get 2 years multiple entries Smile But need to show 100,000 yuan your wife must show this amount not you. and 2 years one is very convenient you can go and come in to mainland until it is valid after it expires you can renew the same 2 years or 3 4 5 years all depends how much you have like for 5 years your wife must have 300,000 yuan . this is shanghai in your area as mentioned u must go to the exit entry bureau to confirm.

My passport is at their office right now.  I assume I will get a 1-year Q, at least that's what I was told.  I paid my 400 kuai and left.  Honestly, I don't really care what the letter is, as long as it's a 1-year.  I'm tired of being bled.  I'll update when I get it back next week.

yeah, please let us know, and how many months or years the PSB gives you on your family Resident permit after converting your Q visa. By the way which city? Thx

Hi, I have applied for the visa and  was said, I can get 2 year visa at least. I have paid 800 RMB.

 

I have applied from Shenyang.

 

I was said that I will be getting three months extension, but made little valid conversation with the officer and they have granted me 2 year visa. I still havent got my passport in my hand.

ironman510:

I wish you luck and hope you get your two year family RP. Let us know the results, maybe your passport has the same 15 day security check as ours ...

Found this online, just to learn from this guy if we have this issue someday:

 

Mar. 08, 2014 10:29ReplyAsked by shanmao from Pakistanq1 and q2 visa holders must get more than 3 or 4 exits a year?In zhuzhou hunan psb says if I were to get q1 or Q2 type, I must get more than 2 or 3 exits a year and they will keep renewing yearly. If I don't get exits then I will be expelled forever. Funny. Eh. Is this in this type terms? I am married to Chinese lady, got 2 sons, my own house, two cars (one is about 70000$ suv) and a bank balance which is enough for me to live in China for 10 years without working. all belongs to us rightfully earned by advertising business abroad. Tell me they are joking that I have to get out of country at least 3 times a year? Or is it really necessary? Anyone knows if this is right?

    Answered by Patrick from USAIt sounds weird. I don't know which type you will be granted with. If you get multiple Q2 type, it's possible that you have to exit 2 or 3 times when each duration period expires. If it is Q1, I think you needn't get out frequently each year because you get the temporary resident permit if you have valid Q1 type. I think you should confirm with them.

if Q1 you need to exit one time and change it to residence permit and 30 days before the expiration time you need to renew it again, it means in a year you need to get out china twice for Q1 if the PSB just issue you the visa yearly as after the renewal they will require you once again to go out and repeat the procedure to transfer your Q1 into residence permit. But even the Q1 can't be guaranteed fully if the PSB officer will grant the 1 year residence permit as the RP they given to the spouses who married to the local ranges from 3/6/9 months and 1 -5 years. Maybe if you stay in central part of Changsha and owned a house and other property they will give you a longer Q visa. Before we as spouse we are not required to do any exit, me i even haven't do any exit for 4 consecutive years , and even not acquiring any residence permit just an ordinary L spouse visa, but when the new rules were been implemented i have no choice but to do an exit but its ok as long near to the border to do an exit is fine but if your far from the border even you have more than enough it is very costly to travel back and forth and to do the process altroughout repetitively.

But for Q2 you can ask them to have a one entry, and for Q2 if you are married for quite long time they even don't bother to ask the bank accounts for this. Again it will depends to the PSB to determine the requirements. And for one year if you want to acquire a Q2 and the PSB will issue the full 6 months with one entry then you will do and exit twice as well.But Q2 again will depend to the PSB officer if how many months and duration of stay and entry they will issue to you by the time you will apply.

The whole thing sounds like a horse's arse.

Does anybody know anything about anything is this country?  

I'm not insinuating expats don't know anything.  I'm simply asking whether or not any Chinese person knows anything about anything.  At all.

I know the answer.

Welcome to 1927.

 

ironman510:

RoyceH man, we're trying to keep this thread open for Q visa updates because it's a new Visa, not for side remarks or offending Chinese. As you know it's not easy to stay with our families in China with any guarantees,  so I and the others try to give as many experiences as we can so others can learn and successfully stay with there family. You could help by removing this comment or adding some useful feedback about Q visa's.. Thanks man.
