    APVI-Exclusive Medical Coordination Add-On

    Need the Saudi medical report? APVI can schedule it for you.

    Saudi work visa medical paperwork is strict, time-sensitive and easy to get wrong. APVI coordinates your appointment with the closest available U.S.-based physician, clinic or lab, provides the required instructions, reviews the completed forms and helps prepare the report for apostille.

    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.

    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
    • 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

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

    Required lab results

    HIV, stool, Hepatitis A IgM, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, TB, chest statement, and 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.
