俗话说，“独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲”，意思是独自远离家乡的人，每到美好的节日就会更加思念自己的亲人。如今，外国人来中国工作、生活已经成为一种流行趋势。相信每一位身在异国他乡的海外朋友，也一定时刻想念着远方的亲人，盼望着早日相聚。
As an old Chinese saying goes, “A lonely stranger in a foreign land I'm cast, Sore sick for my dears on every festive day”, which means that people who are far away from home alone will miss their loved ones even more on festival. Nowadays, it’s a popular trend for foreigners to work and live in China. Everyone in a foreign country will certainly miss their family and look forward to meeting with them soon.
随着签证政策的放宽，外国人想和亲人在中国团聚也变得越来越容易。外国人想来中国探亲一共有4种签证类型可以选择。
With the relaxation of visa policies, it becomes easier for foreigners to reunite with their relatives in China. There are four visa types available.
如果你是一名中国公民或者是具有中国永居资格的外国人，那么你的家人可以申请Q签证来中国。如果来中国的时间超过180天，可以申请Q1签证；如果来中国待的时间不超过180天，申请的就是Q2签证。
If you are a Chinese citizen or a foreigner with Permanent Residence Permit in China, your relatives can apply for an Q visa to come to China. If they want to stay in China for more than 180 days, they can apply for Q1 visa. If less than 180 days, they should apply for Q2 visa.
如果你是还未获得永居资格的外国朋友，也想和亲人团聚，我们还有S签证~同样的，如果你的家人来中国超过180天，就去申请S1签证；如果不满180天，申请的是S2签证。
If you are a foreigner without Permanent Residence Permit, your family needs to apply for S visa. Similarly, stay in China for more than 180 days, they should apply for S1 visa. Otherwise, they should apply for S2 visa.
Wish everyone an early reunion with families in China!
