Is there any issue for Iqama if someone has type2 diabetes

If you are taking medicine regularly for BP or Diabetes then is called controlled BP or Diabetes. And it is allowed in Saudi.

@angeloobretiv hi f u are reactive with syphilis how did u get in to saudi? Please tell me what did you do...Im also diagnose with syphilis now im having my medication of antibiotics---But i want to go back to saudi saudi also.

Hi everyone I need some advice cause I just want to clear my mind im already depressed hopefully u can help me.

I just arrived here in our country (Ph) last June  after a month i decided to apply for another job in Saudi i've been in a medical clinic and they found out that i am  positive in syphilis so they UNFIT me..Now ive been having my medication for antibiotics..after this medication can i apply or go back to saudi again? thanks for your help..

Hi guys! I was about to work in KSA but they saw something on my RPR test (REACTIVE) during my medical. Doctors advised me to do the confirmatory test and seek a specialist doctor if found positive. I undergo a laboratory test (confirmatory - TPPA Quantitative) and it's positive with  3.386 ABS with a cut-off value of 0.309. I immediately seek doctor's advise and i submit for treatment (3 shots - 1 shot a week for three weeks of Benzathine Penicillin G.)

My question is can GAMCA clear my medical (FIT) after i submit the medical certificate for the doctor? @XTang thank you guys!

@THESPIAN0607 but u already reactive with s.y is the medical clinic allow you or they put it "fit to work" cause the medical clinic that i have been they put "unfit" 😞

@angeloobretiv how did it go?

@angeloobretiv how did it go?

pls see below

here is my experience with rejected(the agency stated so) working visa for KSA.

I got syphilis cured almost a decade ago.

the agency claimed that the health report that I submitted show a positive record for syphilis and that's the reason the embassy rejected my visa.

However, the medical report does claim that "this person had received the treatment for syphilis and excluded from the infectious stage of syphilis, the certificate of health examination is issued "

In this case, can I initiate another working visa application with a medical record form a local accredited hospital?

Thank you for your response

Will I be deported if I have gonorrhoea? Can someone tell me for sure

Hello,

will I be deported if I have gonorrhoea?

@anonp9435 Hi there! Fellow Canadian here. Were you able to get your KSA visa? I applied for KSA visa in Ottawa last December but was denied due to treated syphilis. The doctor even attached a note saying that I was treated and fully cured - but I was still denied. I worked in the KSA before for 3 years (2025-2028).

@Kishor A.Yes, that's correct.

@UnkIt  see here  medical tests for certain conditions, like high blood pressure or diabetes, as part of a medical examination. Typically, if your medical tests come back within normal ranges and show that your condition is under control with medication, you'll be cleared medically without any issues.

@RZ995 Hi! Were you able to re-apply for your KSA visa? We're in the same boat.

@angeloobretiv what is your medical clinic here in philippines? did they waive your syphilis reactive here?

Hi everyone,

I was involved in sexual activity with a call girl in Saudi Arabia last Thursday, July 4th. I'm worried about the possibility of having contracted a STI because I have been experiencing a dripping fluid several times a day and a mild headache, which I read on google could be symptoms of an STI.

I had an HIV test a month ago and it was negative. At that time, I didn't realize that if it was positive, the clinic would inform the MOH and I could be deported.

Now, I am extremely worried about my situation. I'm afraid to go to a clinic for fear of being deported, and I also cannot afford it. Additionally, I am getting married in the next 6 months.

Please advise me on what I should do.

I am not sure what kind of advice are you looking for.

You didn't share much details.  For example, did you use protection or not?   

Also HIV symptoms don't start this early.  On top, the tests can only pick it up within 18 to 90 days of exposure depending on the sensitivity of the tests.

Having said that, you might have contracted other STIs. I would advise you to get tested especially so as not to expose your partner to something in the future.  If you are worried, do the other STI tests in Saudi and the HIV test in your home country.  In the future, try not to do stupid things that cause you this level of emotional stress.

@THESPIAN0607 where is your laboratory clinic
