If you had researched the marriage laws of China you would know the answer, which makes me wonder what are you about.

If you marry a Chinese national, what type of visa you can get depends on where she is from. If she is from Shanghai or Beijing you can usually get 1 or 2 year visa without much trouble. If not, then usually a 6 month visa is the longest, but everything is subject to change in China depending on the situation and luck...

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
