Great info, guys. Tofuman, it's interesting that there are differing age requirments in different places, but TIC. Here in Shanghai, there seems to be no limit; I know a woman 76 who's still actively employed at a uni. You mentioned being married to a Chinese as a way to stay here. Without working? True?

7969, yeah, you're right. I figger I've got about 9 more years in me. That's 9 one-year visas. Or, I coud just teach until I drop...in class..and let the students drag my corpse out. Like the old cowboys in the US west dying with their boots on.

Sinobear, I've considered citizenship but I'd lose both my US and Canadian ones because China doesn't allow dual (or trio) citizenship. With that scum-sucking, dog-humping, avaricious, pederastic, lying, fudge-packing homicidal maniac in the White House (Sound like a true Republican?) I really wouldn't shed a tear about losing the US one, but then there goes my social security. It's only $1,000 a month, but enough to live on here.

Who knows? The Shadow do!

You could consider living in Thailand and visiting China on tourist visas whenever you like. Thailand is very welcoming of retirees (they have an annual means test but it is modest if you have some savings).

I'm dreaming of retiring there...if circumstances don't change before then.
