Can anyone advise what is involved with medicals for KSA. I understand I may have to return back to Australia to have it done first them one in KSA. Is this correct. I currently live in Qatar. All help appreciated

Yup...Or if your visa is getting processed in Qatar, you can get it done there itself..

Blood sugar, Chest x-ray, detection of HIV, Malaria etc, Urine and Stool tests..And a naked full body check up by the doctor in charge to see for any physical scars from open heart surgeries etc which they may deem as unfit...Also your testicles to check for varicocele...

Pretty much it I guess...

The test is repeated once you're in the Kingdom also..
