Asked by John Gardner
What is the documentation required for an Australian to marry a Chinese lady?
I am Australian male preparing to marry Chinese lady in China. I have been advised that I need to submit to Chinese registrar a singles certificate. I am applying in South Australia my home state for proof document that I am no longer married and am presently single person. Can you please confirm that this is all documentation I require to take with me to China?
Thank you, John Gardner.
Answered by Lily:
Hi John, you should also take your valid passport with you.
Australian citizens can obtain a 'No Record of Marriage (Single Status) Certificate. In cases you are not able to get that certificate, you can obtain a form called a Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade - in essence it is a structured affidavit or 'statutory declaration'.

Multi-entry visa application
Hi I am an Australian that has been living between HK and China for some time.
My father recently came to visit as I have 2 brothers that live in Shenzhen China whom have just had newborns and he had obtained a 12 month multi entry visa from the Chinese Embassy in Australia, can I fly to Brisbane and also obtain this visa if so how long does it take and what documents do I need to bring with me? I have family living in china and I understand I need a return air ticket pls reply asap thanks David Curtain
Answered by Terry:
Hi David, you can apply the visa through the China Visa Application Service Center in Brisbane. It usually takes four working days to process the visa, but there are also express or rush service.
The documents you need to submit are:
1. Original passport with at least two blank visa pages and a photocopy of the personal information page of your passport;
2. One completed Visa Application Form with a recently-taken passport photo affixed on it;
3. You should submit a letter of invitation and a copy of your brother’s ID.
4. You also need to provide copies of recent Chinese visa with entry record. In case they are not on the current passport, copies of the previous passport with the above data are required.
5. Copies of your other IDs, such as previous passport, driver license, etc.
