New Members dwhaocone Posted March 16, 2016 at 04:20 PM New Members Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 at 04:20 PM I am an US citizen who is applying a Z visa right now. before I can apply I need some kind of working permit to be issued by some department of the chinese government. the employer sent me a list of doc I need to prepare and mail in to get the permit. one of them is to get a physical examination in a clinic in US. But what is the requirement of the physical examination? and are there any specific clinic in US handling this? anyone here has some kind of experiences on this issue. Thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted March 18, 2016 at 12:37 PM Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 at 12:37 PM anyone here has some kind of experiences on this issue. Yes, lots of us have experience on this issue. It is a frequently asked question; a frequently-discussed topic. Type "physical exam" in the search box, upper right-hand part of the page, and you will find a hundred or so posts about this topic, quite a few of them recent.

yueni Posted March 18, 2016 at 04:37 PM Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 at 04:37 PM Check with your doctors. Some will do it, and some won't. The first time I did the physical, my family doctor performed it. The second time I got a physical, I had to find a different doctor who specialized in visa physicals to do it. Ask around. This is the medical form you need: http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/visas/fd/W020110807201675371788.pdf And yes, you need to do the AIDS test, the EKG, and the chest x-ray, no matter how unnecessary it may seem to you.

New Members dwhaocone Posted March 18, 2016 at 05:03 PM Author New Members Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 at 05:03 PM thanks Yueni and abcdefg. I am in texas. Do you know any hospital in Houston will do it abcdefg? also after the exam should I do a translation or notary or anything? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted March 19, 2016 at 12:12 AM Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 at 12:12 AM Do you know any hospital in Houston will do it abcdefg? Ask one of the Houston visa agents. There are several. Here's the one I usually employ: http://www.mychinavisa.com/locations/houston/ China Visa Service Center Houston Office 10700 Richmond Avenue, Suite 211 Houston, TX 77042 Phone: (713) 952-7722 Fax: (713) 952-9377. Online inquiry by email: houston@mychinavisa.com And your second question, below, would also be something to ask the visa agent that you use. ...also after the exam should I do a translation or notary or anything? If you can wait until you get to China, it will be cheaper and easier. That's what I've always done in years past (for an X visa, not a Z visa.) Hope you aren't going to be an English teacher.

muirm Posted March 19, 2016 at 04:25 AM Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 at 04:25 AM When I had mine done, I went to a doctor at a travel clinic (that might be a good search term to use in your area). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members dwhaocone Posted March 19, 2016 at 10:09 PM Author New Members Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 at 10:09 PM I just found a Chinese clinic that can do that for me. the thing is I can't get the work permit which I need to apply a visa to enter china before I submit my examination. so I probably can't do it in China. or people told me to get a visit visa and get it done in china. then bring your work permit and go to Hong Kong to apply a Z visa.
