I'm Vietnamese. China and I have been married for almost five years. Can I become a citizen?

To apply for China citizenship, you must first apply for permanent residency.

According to the guide for foreigners to apply for permanent residence for the first time:

3. Apply for relatives to take refuge

1) Husband and wife reunion

(1) Application conditions:

China citizens or spouses of foreigners who have obtained permanent residency in China, who have been married for five years, have lived in China for five years continuously, have lived in China for not less than nine months every year, have stable living security and residence, abide by China laws and are in good health, can apply for permanent residence.

2) parent-child reunion

(1) Application conditions:

Unmarried children under the age of 18 who take refuge with their parents can apply for permanent residence.

3) Family reunion

According to the Nationality Law of the People's Republic of China, China's citizenship must be approved by the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China.

Fourth, inform

Seemingly simple, in fact, the pass rate is extremely low. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, only a few thousand foreigners have been able to acquire China citizenship, so I suggest that you prepare the materials first, and then consult the local exit-entry administration agencies and lawyers' groups.
