China visa health check in Beijing
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008I guess every foreigner in Beijing already knows about this, but for a newbie like me, it’s quite hard to find the information online, hence this post:
I went to take the compulsory health check for my Chinese visa in Beijing today. It cost 634.50 Yuan and took about 45 minutes. Tests include a general physical exam, a blood test, an ECG, and a chest X-ray. Don’t forget to bring along you passport, as well as three passport size photos, and try to get there well before 10 a.m. because that’s when the queues tend to become longer. Working hours are from 8.30 to 11.00 a.m. They advise you not to eat breakfast before the tests.
Before May 8, 2008 the physical examination for foreigners can be done at the following address:
Beijing Health and Quaratine Station, Nr. 20 Hepingli Beijie, Chaoyang District, Beijing
After May 8, 2008 it will be done at:
Haidian Clinic of Beijing International Healthcare Center, Nr. 10 De Zhenglu, Haidian District, Beijing, Phone: 82403684
