Q: Account Number on a Bank of China debit card?

I got a BOC debit card.

There are 19 digits with no spacing between them across the front with no other numbers on the back.

Only other information is ZJ, which i presume means Zhejiang since I opened the account in Ningbo.

Does anyone know the formatting of this 19 digit code? Does it show my account number?

I looked online, bank account numbers in china are 12 digits.

Thanks!

So the 19 digits is the account number? NOT the card number?

How it does it I have no idea, but I also have one, and have made deposits to my savings account using the debit card, and they have indeed ended up in the right place. I also have made withdrawals with a teller by giving her my debit card, and it is deducted from my account.

The 19 digit code is your bank account number. The one that starts with "45..."

And you're right, the ZJ does stand for Zhejiang because mine has GD and that stands for Guangdong.

I checked my Construction Bank debit card as well and that also has a 19 digit account number.

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
