I am 50 years old and in good health. The only meds I take are lipitor for high cholesteral and meds for a slight anxiety disorder (nothing too serious) as needed. With these conditions....Would I be able to pass medical clearance for a z visa?

Thank you

I don't think it should be a problem but the school you're applying to in China will send you medical forms with a list of questions about your health. When I had my medical check, I don't recall seeing anything about anxiety disorders or high cholesterol. Then again, that was quite a while ago and things could have changed.

What they really look for is HIV/AIDS and other STDs. In China, such diseases are seen as 'foreign diseases'.

This. My last school hired a guy with a known heart condition and he was passed and accepted.......few months later he died at our school from said heart condition.
