Medical tests are performed with authorized lab before visa stamping on passport in home country.

If a person has fatty liver with cholesterol, triglycerides and Gamma GT a little high? Whether that person will be considered fit or unfit?

please reply.

The big things they will not accept are a positive HIV test, history of cancer, true obesity, and perhaps diabetes. I'm not really sure about the diabetes.
A slightly elevated lipid level, or well controlled hypertension are acceptable. I don't know why they would need an ultrasound so they would never know u have a fatty liver. It is so common that it would not be a big deal. Hope this relieves some of your concerns.

Deborah is absoultely correct on this, and when she mentions obesity, she's referring to severe, advanced, incompaciating-type obesity. I know someone who weighed over 300 lbs and it was never even mentioned as an issue.. What they want is a professional person who dresses well and knows how to deal with the students -- both to teach effectively and to maintain order in the classroom.
The medical tests which really concern them are for STDs.

I don't think that there is a huge problem with accepting people with diabetes. We have a number of severely overweight friends in Saudi who had no problem getting the Iqama and medical approval even though they are diabetic. I think it is more a case of people whose diabetes is not under control or life threatening.

Hi I really need some information. I am in working in Saudi on a business visa while I wait for the company who hired me to obtain registration and then my Iqama can be processed. It has already been 3 months. I believe the registration is almost complete but it will still take some time to process. Before I arrived I did my medical for my Iqama, however I have heard it is only good for 3 months.
My problem is I met my husband on my bus a run and have fallen pregnant. Ver happy by the way! But will this be a problem now for me to obtain my Iqama?
