China Visa Medical, London
A China visa medical is the Foreigner Physical Examination required for Chinese work, residence and student visas. The £395 Medical Express Clinic package covers physical examination, chest X-ray, resting ECG, blood group and rhesus, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and liver function tests in a single Harley Street appointment.
The Chinese Foreigner Physical Examination Form is one of the more detailed visa medicals we complete. Alongside the standard infection screen, the form requires a resting 12-lead ECG, blood group and rhesus, and a chest X-ray with radiologist report.
At Medical Express Clinic on Harley Street, we complete the full form during the appointment for students, professionals and family dependants heading to mainland China.

Your appointment
What happens at your appointment
On the day
The full appointment takes approximately one hour, including the on-site doctor consultation, blood draws, urinalysis and the chest X-ray at the partner radiology facility a short walk from the clinic.
The visa documentation is checked at the appointment and completed when the required results are available.
Report turnaround
Your signed medical report is prepared after laboratory and radiology results are back. Timing depends on the panel and whether you request expedited processing. An additional £100 applies for expedited turnaround where the destination allows it. Call 0207 499 1991 if you have a fixed submission date.
Common pitfalls to avoid
- •The ECG is required on the Foreigner Physical Examination Form. Generic medicals may miss it.
- •The visa documentation, original passport and passport photos are needed if the visa centre requires them.
- •Forgetting passport-sized photographs is a common pitfall. Many countries require them, so check your visa documentation for the number and specification and bring them to your appointment.

Appointments are at 117a Harley Street, where the full China medical panel is completed in one visit.

FAQs
Common questions
Q.What is included in a China visa medical?
The Chinese Foreigner Physical Examination covers physical examination, chest X-ray with radiologist report, resting 12-lead ECG, blood group and rhesus, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and liver function tests. The price is £395 fixed and includes completion of the embassy form on the day.
Q.Why do I need an ECG for a China visa?
The standardised Foreigner Physical Examination Form requires a resting 12-lead ECG with the strip and interpretation attached. We perform the ECG during the same appointment.
Q.Can my UK GP complete the Chinese Foreigner Physical Examination Form?
Some GPs can sign the form, but missing tests or stamps often cause rework. Using a clinic that runs Chinese medicals regularly helps avoid a second appointment.
Q.How long is the Chinese visa medical certificate valid?
Check your visa centre or university for how recent the form must be.
Q.Can your doctors complete my visa medical?
Our doctors complete embassy-format visa medicals at Medical Express Clinic on Harley Street. A sponsor or embassy form sent at booking lets the clinic confirm the panel matches what you need.
Q.Where is the chest X-ray taken?
The chest X-ray is performed at a partner radiology facility a five-minute walk from the clinic. The cost is included in the package price and our team arranges the slot for you on the day.
Q.I have an existing health condition. Will it cause issues?
Existing diagnoses, recent surgery and regular medication do not automatically fail a visa medical. Mention them when booking and bring relevant letters or test results so the report reflects your care accurately.
Q.Can our company set up a corporate account for visa medicals?
Corporate accounts are available for HR and global mobility teams, with direct invoicing, payment on account and 30-day credit terms by arrangement. Email info@medicalexpressclinic.co.uk or call 0207 499 1991 to set one up.
Q.Can you handle a group of employees mobilising together?
Block bookings are available for project teams, with a dedicated corporate account manager. Visa documentation can be sent together; each form is checked against the employee's required tests and completed when the necessary results are available.
