Any body aware of the medical tests required as part of obtaining residence visa in Saudi? Is HBV and/or HCV tests required?

Hi perdanasiswa,

For KSA; as you might know it is not like UAE as you should do the visa process from your country of origin which includes the medical examination.

I went to the embassy in Amman-Jordan and asked the recruitment companies around the embassy about the examination and they said it is required and no way to issue the visa, however i asked the embassy itself, but the employee was not sure and said try, but of course i will not try as this might band me from accessing KSA for ever.

Hepatitis screening is required for a KSA visa.

If you show positive, you won't get issued a visa.聽 If you show positive on a post-entry test your visa will be revoked and you will be deported.

I've seen both happen.
