Most X1 visa holders will need to complete a physical examination after arriving in Shanghai to apply for the residence permit.
Students should make an appointment before travelling where possible and complete the examination promptly after arrival, as the health certificate is required for the first study residence permit application.
Students who have completed a physical examination outside China should bring all original medical records bearing the hospital's official stamp. The healthcare center will determine whether the documents can be verified or whether supplementary tests or a new examination are required.
