I'd like to know which specific medical tests are done when applying for the employment visa? Please list all. Thanks.

Only eye test and blood test, as far as I remember.

As I recall, I had an x-ray too. The blood test was for HIV. The only eye test I ever had was for my driving license.

Some employers give you a form on which you indicate if you have had various diseases in the past. That form frequently includes hepatitis, but I have never heard of anyone having actual tests for blood sugar or thyroid conditions.

The government test for the residence permit was blood only - taken via a conveyor-belt system along with hundreds of labourers from the sub-Continent. They are only checking for infectious diseases like HIV. They are not particularly interested in whether you have a pulse or not.
