My wife and I moved out of the US and now live in Latin America. Our long-term goal is China, and some other areas of SE Asia if that path is proven to be unfeasible. While I realize and am clear that emigrating to China is not simple (is it ever in any place?) and for some, potentially impossible, we’re confident in our capabilities to make something work.
The information I’ve found online is scant, contradictory, or largely unreliable. The official Chinese immigration website is elucidating to an extent, but as I’ve personally experienced, many states are not entirely comprehensive and oftentimes there are other paths that are not explicitly articulated on official sources. But, assuming this is the case, the primary method for me personally would be by studying in China, while my wife has a Master’s and could potentially be considered high-talent.
I would like to study and learn Mandarin, if that would enable me and my wife to stay at-length. Would anyone here have experience, first or at most second-hand, of Universities that would be worth looking into? And any general advice for those who have successfully emigrated to China in general would be profoundly helpful.
Are you planning to move to China with a work visa or a student visa? Depending on the answer to this question, you could receive more suggestions.
Anyway, for this type of questions, I prefer to recommend this Rednote content creator called “Ian in China”. You can check his video regarding the diverse type of visas: http://xhslink.com/o/2GUvhgcL8Ph
He is pretty thorough in this explanation regarding the available visas and how to get them.
Thank you for the link. I wondered if there were any accounts on Rednote that could help. As I mentioned in my post, my current understanding is that a student visa would be the most straightforward and likely path, so that’s what I’m currently compiling resources for.
Yeah, I read your post but it confused me a little because it seemed to me that you and your wife already have a bachelor’s degree or some qualifications. Depending on your degree and it if it is in the Science area, you can have an easier time achieving the residency through this work visa.
But… Anyway, if the study visa is what you are looking for, you can probably make an account on rednote and ask a question there. You will very much find people that already achieved what you are trying.
As for the universities in China, I made a small post about this -> https://lemmygrad.ml/post/9820010
Seems like China rolled back their K-Visa, to some extent at least. There was a lot of backlash from Chinese students, and there’s still nothing on their embassy’s website
Hmm damn, you are right. I can no longer see the K visa in the Visa website https://www.visaforchina.cn/MEX3_ES/qianzhengyewu/jichuzhishi/banliliucheng
