Overseas residents should submit passport and Registration Form of Temporary Residence for Visitors issued by local police station.

2. Medical report issued by county-level (or higher level) medical institutions. 

The principle of reciprocity is applicable to staff members of foreign embassies and consulates in China as well as offices of international organizations in China.
