Q: Difference between Local Police Station (派出所) and PSB (公安局)？

Are these the same thing;part of the same government organ?

Is a PSB just the larger version of a local police station (paichusuo)?

Can expats handle their various visa and resident permit issues at either one?

Thanks!

The Local Police Station is just that -- it monitors the people in their homes and in their neighborhoods, is responsible for the overall neighborhood to which it is assigned. The PSB is akin to God himself (or herself). The PSB handles the various visas and resident permit issues, the more nefarious issues plaguing the country, etc., etc.

Basically, the Local Police Station is just there to see if your dog has is registered, process local robbery cases (nothing involving State Security).

The Gonganbu is responsible for the public security and anything by wide and large that involves public security : criminal investigation, terrorist activities, maintaining social order (in case of riot, demonstration), traffic regulation, household registry, identity card, passport, security on national borders, etc...

Thanks. Maybe my own translation and use of the word "paichusuo" was just wrong then, and I actually should have been saying "gonganju"!

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
