Q: Getting a medical done for the visa -is there an official form I can take to the dr?
.....Or a checklist of what it must cover? Also can it be done in a country that's not your native home but is where you currently live? And does the criminal record check need to be legalised/ notarised? Thanks

you will be given a form to fill in when you arrive at the hospital for the check-up and be told what to do.
For criminal record check, it depends on where you are from.

I'm from the UK...does that mean it needs to be legalised? Thanks
sorrel:
is having the medical done in the UK a requirement for your employment in China?
i would suggest, only have a health check done in the UK if you are asked to have it done there, by your employer.
I was not asked to have it done in my home country, but in China.
You could save yourself a lot of money by not having it done twice.
There was (is) Medical Exam form on the Chinese Embassy website:
http://www.chinese-embassy.org.uk/eng/visa/
It is not there anymore. Visit Chinese Embassy, and ask them for the Medical form. Examining MD will know, what kind of exam must complete from the form. MD must fill, sign and stamp Embassy's Medical form.
Ask the Chinese embassy in the country where you will have the medical done.
The Chinese Embassy can also give you this form, yes it's English and Chinese..
Doing it back home could be a waste of time, they will often make you do one here anyway. I only did a few of the cheapest test, Aids and TB and refused to do the other expensive ones in my home country.
kirateach:
But I thought you need the complete exam to be done in order to get the Z visa before you arrive? Did they really accept just a partially filled out form?
kirateach,
You can check, but I refused to do the ECG or EKG test and a few others, because I would have had to pay for it out of pocket and the cost in America was going be nearly the same as a return flight. I just told them straight up I would stay home if it was needed and agreed to pay for my return flight if I failed. Even if I had done it all in America they made me do it all here again anyway. I had to pay for it here, but did get reimbursed a few months later. I think the total cost here was around 240 RMB in Wuhan.
You can just make them decide, have them put in your contract that you will be reimburse for all visa related medical expenses either in America and or here. If you have insurance and the cost to you is negligible then just eat the expense.
