Foreigner Physical Examination Form for China

Direct answer

Use the Foreigner Physical Examination Form published by an official Chinese embassy, but first confirm that your current university, scholarship authority or visa instructions require it. For Chinese Government Scholarship applicants planning to stay longer than six months, a current official call requires the form in English and states that incomplete records, missing physician signatures, missing hospital stamps or an unstamped photograph are invalid.

Key points

Download the form only from an official Chinese government, embassy or university source.
Confirm the requirement before booking tests because it depends on the current application and planned stay.
Keep the original form and supporting test reports for registration and health verification in China.
Current official scholarship instructions state that examination results are valid for six months.

Download the official form

The Chinese Embassy in South Sudan publishes the bilingual Foreigner Physical Examination Form as an official PDF attachment. Open source 1 below and use the appendix link on the embassy page. Avoid editable copies from file-sharing sites because an outdated or altered form may not satisfy the receiving authority.

Before completing it, compare the form with the newest checklist from your scholarship authority or university. Requirements can differ by route, length of stay and local registration procedure.[1][2]

How to complete it without invalidating the record

Complete every required item clearly in English where the current instructions require English.
Attach the applicant photograph and ensure the hospital’s official stamp crosses the photograph when required by the form.
Obtain the attending physician’s signature and the official hospital stamp.
Keep the original blood-test reports, chest imaging or other supporting results issued by the examining facility.
Schedule the examination so the result remains within the six-month validity window stated by the current scholarship call.[2][3]

What happens after arrival in China

Tsinghua University explains that students examined in their home country bring the original form and original blood-test reports for authentication by the local international travel healthcare authority. If the documents do not meet local standards, the student may need to repeat the examination in China.

Jilin’s 2026 guidance similarly tells scholarship students staying longer than six months to bring the passport, admission notice, original examination form and blood-test report for local verification. Follow the instructions from your own university and city because the appointment, fees and supporting documents are local.[3][4]
