Registration is not required with the US consulate. When you do, you simply are giving them your phone number, email address and place where you are staying.

In return, if there is any important news, such as "must get out of China now" announcements, you will be notified. In 6 years I have only heard from my consulate once and that was for a severe weather warning.

I was warned twice this year in Beijing. One was when a US Embassy employee was beaten by the bouncers of a night club in Sanlitun and the other was advising me to carry my passport and all legal documents due to the "crackdown"

I did register, but I did it on line. China has one USA embassy in Beijing, and Consulates in three or 4 other cities. Guangzhou is one of them.

I have received a couple of warnings about weather, and one about traveling to Tibet. Oh, also one for registering to vote in election.

Look for the webpage of US Embassy in China, and see if you can register on line.

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
