Hi,

I potentially have offer to work as an office based Project Manager in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I have moderate to severe hearing loss in both ears but wear hearing aids in both ears which brings my hearing back to normal level. Does anyone know if I would be declared ‘unfit’ during the GAMCA medical check or the incountry medical check hence would not be issued with Imamate residency and work visa?

Any advice would be appreciated?

Paul
