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.

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
  • 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.

What we'll need

Saudi work visa requirements.

Requirements vary by job category, nationality and the documents your sponsoring employer provides. Your APVI specialist will tailor the list to your case.

Two blank visa pages required. Passport must be machine-readable and undamaged.
Color, white background, taken within the last 6 months, neutral expression.
Completed and signed visa application form.
Clear copy of your contract; an apostille of the contract will also be required.
Letters from previous employers confirming role, dates and responsibilities.

E-Wakala issued to APVI. Our reference number is 11837.

When you apply for your E-Wakala on the new KSAVISA website, you will be asked for a Delegated Office Name. Type 11837 in the search box and select "11837 - APVI" from the list.

Please search by the reference number, not the office name. If you select a different office, your E-Wakala will be issued to the wrong office and your application will be delayed.

No. APVI is a private visa and travel document services company. APVI is not an embassy, a consulate, or a government agency, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government.
Saudi work visa files are strict: a blank field, a missing stamp or an expired medical report can stop the application. APVI reviews every document before submission, coordinates QVP, apostille and your medical report, submits directly to the embassy, and gives you one specialist from order to passport return.
The $610.50 Saudi work visa service fee includes the $10.50 consular fee. Apostille, QVP, medical and shipping are separate and shown before checkout.
No. Approval, issuance, and processing times are determined by the issuing authority. APVI helps reduce preventable document mistakes through specialist review and process guidance.
APVI's Saudi work visa service is $610.50 per applicant, which includes the $10.50 consular fee. This covers document review and consular submission. Every Saudi work visa applicant needs a valid QVP certificate: if you already have one, you can use it and do not pay APVI for another; if you need APVI to obtain it, the QVP service is a $580 add-on. The medical report and lab results ($1,799) and apostille (from $149 per document) are optional add-ons, and shipping is selected at checkout.
Most Saudi work visas take about 2 weeks once your file is complete, after all of the required documents are gathered (QVP, apostille and medical, police and FBI reports your case needs). The Saudi authorities set final timing and it is not guaranteed.
QVP stands for Qualification Verification Program. It verifies your professional credentials and degrees through Saudi-approved verification bodies, and every Saudi work visa applicant needs it. APVI handles the submission, follow-up and final certificate delivery for $580, which includes the $280 QVP fee.
Yes, for most files. Medical reports, employment contracts and often background checks must be apostilled by the relevant U.S. Secretary of State, or by the U.S. Department of State for federal documents such as an FBI report. Degrees and professional credentials are verified through the QVP. If your employment contract is not an original, tell your specialist before you ship it. APVI arranges the apostille for you, starting at $149 per document.
Any licensed U.S.-based physician, clinic or lab can complete it, and APVI schedules it for you. The report must be completed in wet ink in 3 originals, signed, dated and stamped, with the physician's license number and no blank fields. APVI books the closest available appointment, gives the physician the instructions, and checks the report and lab panel so your results do not expire before submission.
We review every document before submission to catch common problems such as blank fields, name mismatches and expired medical results. If the embassy raises an issue, your specialist helps you correct it and resubmit. Approval and processing times are set by the Saudi authorities and are not guaranteed.
Yes. We work with HR teams and project managers to process multiple Saudi work visas, with dedicated account support and consolidated billing.
Saudi work visas are issued for 90 days, which gives you time to enter Saudi Arabia and apply for your residence permit (Iqama) once you arrive. In most cases the Iqama is valid for the length of your employment contract.
Yes. Once your Iqama is issued, family visit and dependent visas can be sponsored. APVI can process the dependent paperwork alongside your own application when timing allows.
