Saudi Arabia Visa Medical

The Saudi Arabia Visa Medical is mandatory for all Work and Employment Visas (Z Visa) and Residency Permits (Iqama). It is not required for the Saudi Tourist eVisa or the Electronic Visa Waiver.

The Saudi Arabia medical report is typically valid for 60 days from the date of issue. We recommend planning your appointment carefully relative to your intended submission date to the Saudi Embassy.

For most work and residency visa applications, you must register via the Wafid portal before booking. Please have your Wafid registration reference available and bring it to your appointment.

Yes — most Saudi work and residency visa applications require the medical report to be apostilled by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) before it is submitted to the Saudi Embassy. As our doctor is FCDO-registered, all certificates we issue can be submitted for FCDO legalisation without difficulty.

Yes. Our examining doctor is FCDO-registered, which means he is legally authorised to attest and certify medical documentation for visa and immigration purposes in the United Kingdom. This is a key requirement for many visa applications, as the medical certificate may need to be submitted to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) for legalisation (apostille) before it is accepted by the relevant embassy or consulate. You can therefore be confident that any certificate we issue will meet the requirements of the embassy or immigration authority to which it is submitted.

Your final medical certificate will be issued once all relevant investigation results have been received. This includes blood test results from the laboratory and, where applicable, the results of a Chest X-ray (CXR). Where a Chest X-ray is required, we will provide you with a referral letter at your appointment so that you can attend a private radiology department at a private hospital of your choice. The certificate can only be issued once all results have been confirmed as satisfactory. Turnaround times depend on the specific laboratory and radiology provider used. We will keep you informed and updated at every stage of the process and aim to issue your certificate as promptly as possible once all results are to hand.
