@fumosatar any non saudi with hepatitis in their medical will not be granted visa. so it is better to get treated.

Thank you @naqasharif for your support; however when I meet with the doctor regarding this situation, he told me that I could not get treated, because I'm not sick.  How far may you help me? Please.
