Will hbv carrier get family visa in saudi?

Since you're a dependent and not looking for employment, you have a good chance to get a Saudi visa. Get a medical letter from your Doctor and include all lab results.

My wife is also a Hep B carrier including myself and my visa was approved, arrived in  KSA 17 September and also received my Iqama.

What of if the visa required is the dependent resident visa and not a visit visa?

@Batman_too

Hello

Thanks for the reply.

Is there no way of getting residence visa for hbv carrier e.g. wife?

And how visit visa is for 180 days at a time? As it requires exit after 90 days.

And how the visa is valid till 2033? Isn't it only for one year?

Kindly reply.

Your reply will be appreciated

Thanks.

Please check below forum. Many people confirmed that they did not faced any issue fr Iqama (spouse/dependent)  while tested +ive for Heo B or Hep C antibody only.

Dear Brother,

My wife has the same problem but her hepC appeared when we did medical test for iqama here in Riyadh and the clinic re-done the test thrice i was afraid thinking they might not issue the Iqama due to this reason but one of the nurse at the clinic told me there are many similar cases and the Iqama is issued since she is a dependent and not a worker and than I submitted the same reprt showing HepC postive and Iqama was issued without any problem therefore I think it wont be a problem for you as well.

Later on just to be on save side I have done the PCR  for my wife which showed no virus detected."

Hi,

I have completed my medicals here in Saudi and got my iqama last week. Again, I have spoken to a Saudi doctor here in Dammam, and he basically said the following:

for non-employment visas, positive hep c and hep b results should not cause visa cancellation as long as the virus has been treated and is non-reactive. If the virus has been treated, the antibody test will still show positive, but further tests (like PCR and RNA) will be negative. I am not sure if they do these tests during medicals in Saudi, but in any case they will run a general blood test which will show elevated liver enzymes levels if the virus is still active. I would therefore strongly suggest that your wife gets the treatment in her home country before applying for a Saudi visa - it will take a while, I had to go through almost a year of injections and pills, but it's absolutely worth it.

Please keep in mind that the above only applies for family visas - any work visa will most likely be cancelled if hep b or c is positive. I assume this is because one comes into contact with more people at a working environment, and therefore poses a greater threat for spreading the virus, especially if working in a medical/ food industry."
