近年来，中国的跨国婚姻数量有所增加，跨国婚姻的增长反映了全球化背景下人口流动的加剧以及文化交流的增多，但相对于全国总的婚姻登记数量来说，仍然占比小。
In recent years, the number of cross-border marriages in China has increased, reflecting the intensification of population mobility and cultural exchanges in the context of globalization. However, compared to the total number of marriage registrations in the country, the proportion is still relatively small.
跨国婚姻较多的地区主要集中在传统侨乡（如广东、福建）、西南边境地区（如云南、广西）和经济发达地区（如上海、浙江等）。这些地区由于地理位置、历史文化、经济发展等因素，与外国人的交流和互动更为频繁。
经济因素是影响跨国婚姻的一个重要原因。在一些经济欠发达地区，男性可能因为当地女性资源稀缺或婚姻成本高昂而选择跨国婚姻。文化差异和语言障碍也是跨国婚姻中需要面对的挑战。然而，随着全球化的推进和人们观念的开放，这些差异逐渐被接受和包容。
Economic factors are an important factor affecting cross-border marriages. In some economically underdeveloped areas, men may choose cross-border marriage due to the scarcity of local female resources or the high cost of marriage. Cultural differences and language barriers are also challenges that cross-border marriages need to face. However, with the advancement of globalization and the openness of people's ideas, these differences are gradually being accepted and accepted.
外籍配偶选择定居在中国后，是否有资格寻找工作、挣钱养家，主要取决于他们是否满足中国的就业规定和相关申请条件。
Whether foreign spouses are eligible to seek employment and earn money to support their families after settling in China mainly depends on whether they meet China's employment regulations and relevant application requirements.
就业条件 Employment conditions
根据中国的相关规定，外国人在中国就业需要满足以下条件：
年龄与健康：年满18周岁且身体健康。
专业技能：具备从事其工作所必须的专业技能和相应的工作经历。
无犯罪记录：申请人需要无犯罪记录。
聘用单位：有确定的聘用单位。
有效证件：持有有效护照或能代替护照的其他国际旅行证件。
满足了上述条件后，外籍配偶可以申请工作许可证和工作类居留许可，从而在中国合法工作。
According to relevant regulations of China, foreigners need to meet the following conditions for employment in China:
Age and Health: Over 18 years old and in good health.
Professional skills: possessing the necessary professional skills and corresponding work experience to engage in their work.
No criminal record: The applicant needs to have no criminal record.
Employer: There is a designated employer.
Valid documents: Hold a valid passport or other international travel documents that can replace a passport.
After meeting the above conditions, foreign spouses can apply for work permits and work-related residence permits to legally work in China.
申请流程 Application process
对于中国公民的外籍配偶来说，申请工作签证的流程相对简化。在满足工签申请条件的基础上他们持团聚居留许可，可以在中国境内直接申请工作许可，无需出境申请。
For foreign spouses of Chinese citizens, the process of applying for a work visa is relatively simplified. On the basis of meeting the conditions for applying for a work visa, they can apply for a work permit directly within China without the need to apply for an exit permit by holding a group residence permit.

其他选择 Other options
如果外籍配偶暂时不符合工作签证的申请条件，或者希望在未来有更长远的规划，他们还可以考虑以下选择：
申请团聚类居留许可：这是大多数跨国婚姻外籍配偶的选择，但需要注意的是，团聚类居留许可通常不允许在中国工作。
申请中国绿卡：如果外籍配偶与中国公民的婚姻关系存续满5年，且在中国连续居留满5年（每年在中国居留不少于9个月），有稳定生活保障和住所，并遵守中国法律、身体健康、无犯罪记录，那么可以申请永久居留（即中国绿卡）。一旦获得绿卡，他们在中国的就业将不再受限制。
If the foreign spouse temporarily does not meet the application requirements for a work visa, or wishes to have longer-term plans in the future, they may also consider the following options:
Applying for a reunion type residence permit: This is the choice for most foreign spouses of cross-border marriages, but it should be noted that reunion type residence permits usually do not allow working in China.
Applying for a Chinese Green Card: If a foreign spouse has been married to a Chinese citizen for at least 5 years and has resided continuously in China for at least 5 years (with no less than 9 months of residency per year), has stable living security and residence, complies with Chinese laws, is in good health, and has no criminal record, then they can apply for permanent residency (i.e. Chinese Green Card). Once they obtain a green card, their employment in China will no longer be restricted.
非法就业的后果 The consequences of illegal employment
需要强调的是，如果外籍配偶未按照规定取得工作许可和工作类居留证件就在中国境内工作，那么他们将被视为非法就业。非法就业者可能会面临罚款、拘留甚至遣送出境等处罚。因此，外籍配偶在寻找工作时，务必确保自己符合中国的就业规定和申请条件。可以根据自己的实际情况和长远规划，选择适合自己的居留和就业方式。
It should be emphasized that if foreign spouses work in China without obtaining work permits and work-related residence permits in accordance with regulations, they will be considered as illegal employees. Illegal workers may face penalties such as fines, detention, and even deportation. Therefore, foreign spouses must ensure that they meet China's employment regulations and application requirements when looking for work. You can choose a suitable way of residence and employment based on your actual situation and long-term planning.
全球化的推进和人们观念的开放，跨国婚姻逐渐成为了一种新的婚姻模式，促进了不同文化之间的交流和融合，跨国婚姻的数量可能会继续增加。中国会进一步完善外籍人士在中国的居留和就业政策，为他们提供更多的便利和支持。社会各界也应该加强对跨国婚姻的理解和关注，为跨国婚姻家庭提供更多的帮助和支持。
With the advancement of globalization and the openness of people's ideas, cross-border marriage has gradually become a new mode of marriage, promoting communication and integration between different cultures, and the number of cross-border marriages may continue to increase. China will further improve the residency and employment policies for foreign nationals in China, providing them with more convenience and support. All sectors of society should also strengthen their understanding and attention to cross-border marriage, and provide more assistance and support for cross-border marriage families.
