Patient Q&A: How can I reserve a Shanghai medical check for visa paperwork?

Question: If I need a medical check in Shanghai for visa or residence paperwork, where should I book it?

Answer: A Shanghai government page published on June 13, 2024 says applicants should use the Shanghai International Travel Healthcare Center's online reservation system at https://online.shhg12360.cn/sithc/ for visa-related medical check appointments. The same page also points readers to the center's official WeChat account, SITHC-SHHG.

For trip planning, it is sensible to book early and verify the exact document list, passport requirements, opening times and follow-up steps with the relevant authority or school before attending. Requirements can differ by visa category and personal status.
