hello every one ,my problem is that i want to travel to saudi arabia. my wife working there. recently i tested with (hep b+) but i am healthy only. if my wife want to call me in family visa i have to go for medical test they will reject me to enter in to country. my friends said all visa to saudi arabia need medical examination. can any one help me from this problem by saying how can i enter in to country without medical test atleast for one month. which visa i have to take. please give your suggestions as early as possible

it's a no can do situation if you ask me, unless tourists don't have to have their blood tested?

Yup there's not a lot you can do really. The GCC practices medical apartheid - even for working professionals who are treated and take steps to limit contagion they don't care and buy into the whole Hep/HIV stigma thing in a big way.

friends please give me exact information, my friend said all visa for saudhi required medical test. there is no tourist visa for saudi arabia. if any correct information with you please give me.

Can't you call the Saudi Embassy or Consulate in your country and find out directly from them?

Or do a google search and find their website which will have the exact requirements for visa applications...

N.

they do promote tourism, God only knows why

Or maybe try to obtain a HAJJ Visa.
It is that time of year.

My Italian partner is in Saudi Arabia as we speak (third time in as many months) and he didn't have any medicals or blood tests.

Depending on what type of visa he entered the sand pit on !!!
Business visa perhaps. ???

Probably - he's definitely there for work and not through choice.

I'd better make sure there is plenty of wine and beer in the fridge for when he returns.

Would you like to share some of your very nice wine and beer.

Mind you!!! me oft to an embassy social evening tonite, some nice jazz music.

Why not do what many westerners do and meet up for a long weekend in Bahrain?

Come on over.

Enjoy yourself at the Embassy

Actually not that difficult. Get a friend of hers to take the test in your wifes name - pref one who does not have any medical conditions.

You need to work out why she has got Hepatitis too!

I think it's him that has hepatitis, not his wife - presumably she doesn't have it.

Anyway, would whoever takes the test not have to prove their identity with a passport or some other form of photo identification?
