What Is the Chinese Q1 Visa?

The Chinese Q1 Visa is designed for foreign nationals seeking to:

Join immediate family members in China (spouses, parents, children).

Stay for more than 180 days, making it ideal for those who need long‑term residency.

Upon arriving in China on a Q1 Visa, you have 30 days to register with the local Public Security Bureau (PSB). After registration, the Q1 Visa converts to a Residence Permit, enabling multiple entries and the flexibility to remain in China for extended periods without frequent short‑term renewals.
