physical examination for z-visa

physical examination for z-visa
Aug 6, 2010 00:23
guest51145	I have a very limited amount of time to apply for and receive my z-visa, and have the letter of invitation and work permit in hand. However, I can't seem to get a straight answer as to whether the physical examination record is NECESSARY to obtain the z-visa or if I can have the physical exam done in China when applying for my Residency Permit. I'm worried that I won't have enough time to complete the exam before I need to apply for the visa. I'm Canadian, applying in USA, and will be staying in China for 12 months. Thanks for any help you can give me!

If you are in Beijing, I can help you do Z visa without leaving the China. Robert hotmail.com\|robert_shu7777 010-58156222-117 15810477188 www.thatischina.com

At most you should only need to complete the first part of the health check form where you state you are free of listed illnesses etc. N way would I payfor a medical before getting to China...unless an employer is paying!

Hi, it is me again! (I made the original post.) Applying in New York City, I did NOT need the physical exam, in fact they didn't ask me for the form at all. Nobody I saw applying there was using that form.

(However, I had the medical check done in India before I left, it only cost me the equivalent of US $9.)

Otherwise I had no problems getting the visa, got it the same day in 1.5 hours.

Thank you for all your replies!
