Q: Is a signed letter from her parents required?

There's an informative website that says that, in addition to the hukou, my fiance must also present a signed letter of permission from her parents? My fiance is over 20, so is this really necessary? It's not mentioned on any other relevant sites.

If you guys are ready to get hitched then getting the letter from her parents isn't an issue isn't it? Unless of course you are planning to elope?

And if she's only 20, I would definitely not even consider marriage (unless she's pregnant, in which case, you've both proven yourself to be too irresponsible to get married).
I should not have taken the bait. I wish the admin would do away with anonymous posting.

Seriously?


My wife and daughter are the best thing that's ever happened to me. I would've married her at 18 if I had met her in person back then. Not all Chinese girls are bad.

 

As for the bait... this is a previous requirement, like in the last several years.

Unless rules have changed, you need a letter from the parents to apply for a spouse VISA from a consulate or an embassy. You will need the Hukou (here again, usually in the parent's hands) to apply for residency.

 

Why everything from the parents? Because in China, choices aren't yours to make, you always belong to someone else. Take it as a "warm tip".

We didn't need that, but my wife was 26 when we got married.... oh, I think her mum was with us at the marriage office but only first attempt when they said one of our documents wasn't OK, so i got to take a bus to the embassy for a stamp and then we tried the next day again.

Nope, not anymore - you just need the hukou now. If you think about it, the hukou usually is a "signed letter," since it's usually in the hands of the head of the household, and you normally can't duplicate it, so the whole thing is redundant. If you can't get the hukou, sue for it, or apply for another one saying you "lost" it.

 

Married my wife at 22.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
