Can foreigners work in China and bring their families to live in China?

Foreigners working in China can bring their families to live in China if they meet certain conditions.

Family members usually include spouses, children, etc. Generally speaking, relevant supporting documents such as proof of family relationship, work visa holder’s work certificate, invitation letter, etc. need to be provided, and the corresponding visa application should be made to the Chinese embassy or consulate abroad according to the prescribed procedures.

For example, family members can apply for Visa S1 (long-term visit to foreigners staying in China for work, study and other reasons) or Visa S2 (short-term visit to foreigners staying in China for work, study and other reasons).

However, specific policies and requirements may vary depending on the region, visa type, and individual circumstances.

Obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information from the local immigration management department or relevant embassies and consulates in China.
