Saudi Arabia Visa Medical, London: the direct answer
A Saudi Arabia visa medical is a fitness-to-work examination required by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for residence (Iqama) and work visa applicants. At Medical Express Clinic, the £545 examination covers physical assessment, urinalysis, chest X-ray, bilharzia antibodies, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, HIV, liver function tests and the monkeypox attestation, with the signed medical report ready in 3 to 5 working days.
Saudi residence applications run on tight deadlines and the Saudi embassy has one of the most thorough medical panels in the region. Bilharzia antibody testing, the monkeypox attestation, and full hepatitis screening sit alongside the more familiar physical examination, chest X-ray, urinalysis and infection screening.
Our FCDO panel doctors have prepared Saudi visa medicals on Harley Street for decades. Submit your embassy forms ahead of your appointment and we will run the entire panel in one visit, sign the certificate to the format your sponsor expects, and return it inside the 3 to 5 working day window most applicants need.
