    APVI-Exclusive Medical Coordination Add-On

    Need the Saudi medical report? APVI can help coordinate it.

    Residency visa applicants aged 13 and over need a completed Saudi medical report and the full lab panel. APVI coordinates the appointment, briefs the physician and reviews the finished forms before your file is submitted.

    APVI-Exclusive Add-On

    Saudi medical reports are not just a routine doctor visit.

    The embassy requires original wet-ink medical reports completed by a licensed U.S.-based physician — with no blank fields, proper physician signature, date, stamp and license number. Incomplete forms can delay or stop the visa process.

    APVI removes the guesswork by helping coordinate the appointment and giving the physician the correct instructions before the visit.

    Start My Application

    Already started? Your APVI specialist can confirm whether this add-on is needed for your case.

    What APVI coordinates

    • Closest available U.S.-based physician, clinic or lab appointment
    • Instructions for the physician and the applicant
    • Required Saudi medical report form guidance
    • Lab-result checklist support, including the Mpox statement
    • Review for missing fields, signatures, stamps and license number
    • Apostille/attestation preparation support
    • Timing guidance so documents do not expire before submission

    Appointment availability depends on applicant location, clinic schedules and lab processing times. APVI does not provide medical advice or determine medical eligibility. A licensed U.S.-based physician completes the report.

    Physician-completed report

    Original wet-ink medical report completed by a licensed U.S.-based physician — signed, dated, stamped and filled out completely.

    Required lab panel

    The full Saudi lab-result panel plus the physician-signed Mpox/Monkeypox statement.

    90-day validity window

    Medical reports and lab results are valid for 3 months / 90 days from completion — timing matters.

    Apostille-ready review

    APVI helps prepare the completed medical report for apostille/attestation once physician and lab requirements are finalized.

    How it works

    From order to embassy submission, APVI handles the process step by step.

    Hi, my husband is a Saudi resident sponsoring me and our kids. Do I need to apostille every birth certificate?

    Sponsor & kinship documents

    Sponsor and kinship documents, reviewed before embassy submission.

    Saudi Residency Visa applications depend on accurate sponsor documentation and properly authenticated proof of family relationship. APVI reviews these documents before submission so preventable errors do not delay the process.

    Approved sponsor invitation

    The Saudi sponsor invitation must be approved and match the applicant's Residency Visa request.

    Apostilled proof of kinship

    Proof of relationship, such as a marriage certificate or birth certificate where applicable, must be apostilled before submission.

    Sponsor passport copy

    A clear copy of the sponsor's passport is required as part of the Residency Visa file.

    Sponsor Iqama copy

    A copy of the sponsor's Saudi Iqama is required to confirm the sponsor's residence status in Saudi Arabia.
