My young man is going to go to work in Beijing for six months. I would like to go with him, but how do I make a visa for 6 months if I do not have an invitation to work in Beijing. How can I get it? Or maybe I need to register with him in marriage to go there like his wife?

In this case, you really can accompany your friend only as the next of kin, spouse (provided that the Chinese employer meets you and signs an invitation to you two.)

As an option, you can apply for a business visa (category F) in Moscow for a period of 60 or 90 days in the country:

  • 2x60 (two entries for a period of 60 days) with a corridor of 180 days
  • multix90 (unlimited number of entries for up to 90 days) with a corridor of 180 or 360 days.

To obtain such a visa you should pay sya in the travel company, engaged in registration of Chinese visas.
