Saudi Medical lung scar

7POSTS

4 years ago

I have been working in saudi for more than 20 years now. Returned back to hone due to covid situations. I got a new job in saudi and got my visa. For medical tests the doctor took the chest xray and saw a scar. I never had TB of any sort before, and i dont have any illness as well. Can anyone here please advice what can be done for this. Is there any workarounds to get the medical passed. I request your help.

They may give some medications for a week and then take another X ray to clarify

What about your old visa?
Is it expired while you were outside the Kingdom?
If it is, you can't enter Saudi for 3 years on a new visa.

Good day. Would like to ask if there's a chance that Saudi Arabia or my company will decline my job if I have a scar, even my employer, country and my pulmonologist said that it's just a scar? Thank you
