When business takes one to China, getting a full time job there can be a great experience for learning more about how another country conducts business. And a foreigner who has been offered a job in China must always obtain a Chinese visa in order to work legally in the country. But sometimes a person might want to bring family over because the work is expected to take several months or even a few years. In cases where residency of a few years is expected a person can obtain additional visas for family members for their stay in the country.
