What is Iqama medical?
The Iqama Medical is a mandatory health examination required for expatriates in Saudi Arabia to obtain or renew their Iqama, the official residency permit. This Medical test is a crucial part of the immigration process to ensure that individuals entering the country are free from contagious or infectious diseases that could pose a risk to public health. Typically, the Iqama Medical involves a series of health checks, including blood tests to screen for diseases like HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis B & C, chest X-rays to detect tuberculosis, and a general physical examination. It is required for all foreign workers, as well as dependents seeking residency. By conducting this thorough Medical screening, Saudi Arabia ensures the health and safety of its residents while maintaining high public health standards.
