Hi guys,
I have a job offer with a bank in Saudi Arabia. As part of the work visa process, I was asked to take a medical, the results of which have been authenticated/attested by the United Kingdom Foreign and Commonwealth Office. I am a British Citizen.
My question is: When I arrive in Jeddah, will I have to do ANOTHER medical? Or will my medical from the UK be enough?

Anyone?
Have any of you been asked to do a medical on arrival in Saudi Arabia even though you had one done in your own country?

Yes, you will have to do another medical test in Jeddah in order to get the residence permit, even if you have done one before in UK. Rule, cant escape.
