Q: If I recently had a health check up done in Taiwan, do I need to get a new one in HK for my Z visa?

I am going to Hong Kong on the 16th to apply for my Z visa, and I am not really wanting to go through another bought of hospital examinations. So I am curious if I can use my health check from Taiwan as a substitute for the one that I would have to do in Hong Kong?

 

If not then what is the cost of the health check in Hong Kong? The check up in Taiwan cost me 1550Twd (52 USD) is it similar or more or less expensive? I am not sure if I get reimbursed  for this check up or not.

 

edit~

I am excedingly aware of the status of Taiwan in relation to China. However, the reason that I am asking this 2 fold, but the main reason is I am arriving with a strict budget and if I am able to avoid one more unneeded fee that's perfect.

Health check-up exams are valid only from approved doctors or hospitals.  I doubt that one done in Taiwan (of all places) will be accepted in Hong Kong by Chinese Embassy there.  Mine was also around $50 US dollars when I had it done.

Basic Health  Exam in HK cost  around $2300 HK. Make sure you get proper form from Chinese Embassy in HK, and give it to MD in the Hospital. 

 

Then, you'll return to China, you must do the same Medical exam in here for around 400 Rmb.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
