from China to Europe

[modron]

Hello again guys,

Its been a while. My trip is not done... not even started yet. Ran into some problem and needed to postpone but now i can finally go hah
I have my chinese license and bike. Now im thinking how difficult it will be to take that bike out of China, ride it for some time then bring it back to China, ride trhough and take it out again!!! has anyone some experience with this?
oh, and one more thing...is there anyway to ride bike outside China on chinese drivers license? i dont have bike license in my country, just in China!

It's a typical bind. The biz visa can be for 6 months or a year, but each stay is limited to 3 months, which rules out the license. can you get your employer to put you on a residence permit? it's not difficult to do at all. Then you'll have one-year multiple entry visa rights, and the right to get the license.

good luck.

This is what I have at the moment.
1 year, biz "F" valid 90 days each time.
I was going to try apply Chinese licence with it, but I think I will just be knocked back.
So now we got married, I can perhaps change my visa to some thing that will give me more than the 90 days?

Ideas for which visa I can apply, I am not working.

Dear Graham.
Go for a Spouse visa - cost 400 rmb/year and for me easy to get.
But it's not allowed to work.........fine for me...!!...

Brilliant Morfar,
Thanks for that.
Spouse visa, I can't see that, is that the same as The residence permit ?
Can you tell me more about the actual process, and the sticker you get in your passport.
Perhaps better to PM me, rather than pull this topic "off-line"

Spouse visa is a L category visa. There are about 4 or 5 L visa categories, not just for a temporary tourist visa.

You will get an L visa in your passport, which lasts 12 months. You need to have your marriage certificate (Chinese), your wife's Hukou (户口), your passport, you PSB registration slip, rental agreement/real estate certificate and copies of all of these. Note: You cannot work on any L visa. It also has to be renewed every year.
