Still a little confused with all the different visas and regulations...for which visa is it required to get a health check with the dreaded blood test, etc?
Why don't we need it for the others?
12 years 41 weeks ago in Visa & Legalities - China
Any visa issued for longer than 6 months. I just had my second one done but the Official told me i wont need it the next time. The medical test is a piece of cake... they only there to make money no one is serous
Fritze, i thought the prostate exam was pretty serious... but yeah, it fel like "a piece of cake"
I had medical cheack twice, 1 in nanjing the otehr in Xuzhou.I didnt have a prostate check and not at anny i had to undress, i might be too old and you young so the Doctor liked your bud...... I can assure you NO one will ever toutch my ass....lol it looks like each place do it differently. I Xuzhou they also took a urine sample but not in Nanjing
Depends on what Provience you are in. For one, if you're over the age of 45 some 50 it's required once a year. I've never known for anyone on a tourist visa to be required to take a medical. Most proviences require a medical for a anything over 6 months with X, F and Z visas for this will turn you into a temporary Resident and most schools will require one to ensure the safety of their students. I have only taken one in Inner Mongolia, when I moved to Tianjin they said it was of no need for my age is under 40. Again, your location would be of upmost importance if you need a better answer.
health check depends on the rule of whatever visa you are going to have . but reality about this health check is just making money nothing serious is there in it , x-ray , blood test, height, weight and other normal stuff.. for all this depends on province and city you will pay the money. blood test to see whether you have any harmful disease or not. though its good to have a medical check every year in china as their are many dieases and threats which you can not imagine... haha
i even had a health check once for a stay of less than 6 months. i dont know why, probably because they changed my visa into residence permit?!? but still, it was 4 months only. i was suprised that time because i actually expected that i do not have to go there
In Hunan, I have had to get one every time I renew my residency (Z) visa.
