I have been offered a job in Saudi Arabia but I am worried I may not pass the medical. I have a Bicuspid Aortic Valve, which is basically a congenital heart defect that causes me no issues. I heard they check for heart defects during the medical/ chest X-ray. Is this likely to cause my visa to be refused?

Hello Nev,
The best advise would be that you must try to pass the medical test, you could be lucky because from what I know of the medical test, they are looking for a lot of more common problems.
