it is set up so you go from room to room for all the different requirements. I was impressed that people were actually queueing. i started with what was the shortest line.- two vials of blood
- visual acuity
- ear, nose, throat check
- height, weight, reflexes
- chest x-ray
- ECG
- dental
- sonogram
- urine
if you have ever seen the movie "the court jester" it reminds me of that. in the movie Danny Kaye's character is to be quickly knighted so they just grab him and frantically shuttle him around from one event to the next so that he can speedily be knighted. it is very funny and i couldn't help thinking of this as i ran from room to room fulfilling all the requirements for residency. watch it you will die of laughter.
the last thing i did was the urine deposit. i had to laugh because you just deposited the open cup of urine on a cart outside the bathroom door. secure right. in about a week i will know if i am going to receive an all right. then it will be on to the police to register with them.

What are they looking for in the physical? In Australia weight is a big thing and they will decline people over a certain BMI. Here in Egypt you have a pass an AIDS test.
i don't know it is crazy. you have to answer all the personal history questions and then go through all the exams, but i must say they were fast and fairly efficient. although i don't know what you are going to find in a 2 second sonogram.
Sounds like a fun ride through the hoops. And a lot more efficient than the exam I had to do for my job here in Italy.
sounds like another fine day in the expat life!
the cup of urine would cause me some concern though! hahaha
