Saudi Work Visa Medical

Hello,

I will be moving to Madina to start a teacher of science job in August hopefully. I have to hand in my resignation for my current job at the end of May which is before I apply for my work visa so it is obviously vital I get this decision right.

Looking through the medical requirements for the medical test I am sure I don't have any of the conditions they check for.

My one concern is the eye test. In one eye I am legally blind and in the other eye I have average 6/12 vision. Could this be a reason for my work visa to be denied? My vision has never been a problem for me to carry out my daily tasks and I am therefore able to work as a Teacher here in London.

Any answers based on experience would be most welcome.

Qasam

P.S. I have phoned up a few providers of medical visas for SA and they have told me it should not be a problem but I am not sure if that is just because they want me to pay the rather expensive fees to have the visa application submitted or they are being genuinely honest.

Hello,
I am sorry for being so persistent with this. I am moving with my young family and giving up a stable job here in London. The last thing I would want to happen is to be told in Madina that I have to return to London as my eyesight is not adequate.
Apparently they do not even check eyesight for the iqama in Saudi Arabia so heres hoping I will be fine.
Thanks,
Qasam
