When I read articles like the recent posted one about Brice Mathey making a Shelter in 怒江, I can't stop asking myself what kind of visa do they bear.
I've been struggling for a month to get a visa.
Student visa? I would have to pay and attend classes I don't need anymore, as I already have a decent level.
Working visa? I need to provide a certificate like the TEFL, translate from French into Chinese a no criminal records document and my degree (+notorization), not to mention I'd have to wait a month to get necessary documents from the employer (who won't need me anymore).
All I came up with is making a visa request for marrying my Chinese girlfriend (yes, it's mostly for her that I need to get back in China).
But this almost looks like a convenience marriage, as it is a bit early.
What kind of visa do people have?
Does entering with a tourist visa, renewing it, flying to HK, still an efficient and feasible trick? I never did it, where can I get more information about it?
Many thanks to the community for all its upcoming help!
