Hello everyone.
I am engineer from Colombia south America and received an job offer to work in a project in Oman. Recently a HR member from the company requested me for visa application to send a medical test certification performed in a GCC accredited medical centre. He attached a excel file with a list of accredited centres, but i saw only 11 countries in the list (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Philippines, Syria, Nepal, Sudan, Sri lanka, Indonesia, Egypt and Ethiopia), not any country in south America.
I tried to explain him this and kindly requested him if possible to take the medical exam once arrived to Oman due my nationality, but this HR guy roughly answered that the test must be done in my country.
I kindly replied that Colombia, my country is far away of any of those in the excel list, also I stated that I know people from my country already working in that project and their medical test was performed once they arrived to Oman. In a kindly manner I suggest him to ask his manager about this issue.
It has passed one week and I have not received any answer from him, even when I mailed him again asking for an update.
My question is how possible or difficult is for me as a Colombian citizen to apply for a employment visa in Oman without a pre-departure GCC approved medical certification?
Thanks to all of you in advance and sorry for the extended explanation
Regards
