How do foreigners working in Shanghai apply for medical insurance cards and social security cards?

Yes, Shanghai only issues medical insurance cards to foreigners.

Generally speaking, migrant workers in Shanghai do not have social security cards, only medical insurance cards. Social security cards anywhere in the country can only be processed at the place of residence. Foreigners' medical insurance cards in Shanghai should be transferred and then collected.

1. If the new three insurances (agricultural household registration in other provinces) are transferred, the social security (medical special) card will be issued to the company by migrant workers, and the company will issue it to individuals; This card is used in 30 yuan to buy medicines and see doctors in designated pharmacies and hospitals every month.

2. If it is transferred to Five Insurance (household registration in other provinces and cities), the social security card (special medical card) will be collected by the person holding the original ID card to the medical insurance center in the district and county. You can entrust the company to collect it on your behalf, and you need to bring the original ID card of the agent.

3. At the same time of receiving the card, the medical record will be issued. Please apply for a password at the same time, so that you can check your personal information on the Shanghai medical insurance network in the future;

4. For the flow between enterprises in Shanghai, this card does not need to be re-processed, and it has always been valid; If you don't have a card before job-hopping, individuals can apply for a replacement at the county medical insurance center with the original ID card.
