Medical examination support

Safar Injaz is a UAE-based service that helps applicants, employers and agents arrange the medical examination for a Saudi visa. In countries covered by the Gulf Health Council's Wafid programme, it is booked through Wafid; elsewhere, at a medical centre accredited by the Saudi mission. We arrange attestation of the report where required. The medical centre decides fitness.

Help booking the medical examination for a Saudi work or residence visa, through Wafid where it applies, and attestation of the report where required.

Fees
Our service charges depend on the applicant's country, the visa category and the documentation requirements. Contact us for a personalised quotation: we provide a clear breakdown of service charges and applicable government fees before proceeding.

You're probably here because

  • Your Saudi work visa file needs a medical examination report before it goes to the Saudi embassy or consulate.
  • You are not sure whether your country is covered by Wafid, or which medical centre to use.
  • You are an employer or agent with several workers who need medicals in different countries.
  • The Saudi mission or another authority has asked for the medical report to be attested.

What to send us

Start with clear copies. We'll tell you if and when an original is needed.

  • Passport details: number, place of issue, and issue and expiry dates
  • The visa type, such as a work visa, and the country you are travelling to
  • The country and city where you want the examination done
  • An email address and a phone number for the appointment confirmation
  • The original report, if it needs attestation

How it works

  1. Check the route

    Tell us your nationality, where you are and the visa type. We check whether the examination is booked through Wafid in your country or done at a medical centre accredited by the Saudi mission, and give you a quotation.
  2. Booking

    With your permission, we book the appointment. On Wafid, the booking names the country and city of the examination, and the system assigns the medical centre.
  3. The examination

    You attend the medical centre in person with the appointment slip. The medical centre carries out the examination and records the result.
  4. Result and attestation

    We follow the result with you. Through Wafid, the Gulf Health Council's programme shares health information with GCC embassies and consulates electronically. Where the Saudi mission or another authority needs the report attested, we coordinate it.

What we don't do

Being clear about this up front saves you time and money.

  • We are not a medical centre and don't examine anyone. The medical centre carries out the examination and records the result.
  • We are a private service, not Wafid or the Gulf Health Council, and we are not affiliated with them or with any medical centre. You can always book on Wafid yourself.
  • We can't change a result or have a report reissued.
  • We can't promise an appointment date or a result date.

Safar Injaz provides assistance and coordination subject to applicable regulations and service-provider authorisations. Visa issuance and approval remain with the relevant authorities.

Questions about medical examination

What is Wafid?

Wafid is a programme of the Gulf Health Council for people going to work or live in a GCC country. In the countries it covers, the medical examination appointment is booked on Wafid and the applicant is assigned an accredited medical centre.

Is my country covered by Wafid?

Wafid covers a list of countries that changes over time. It currently includes India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria and Uganda, among others. Where Wafid doesn't apply, the medical is done at a medical centre accredited by the Saudi mission. We check the current list for your country.

Can I book on Wafid myself?

Yes. Applicants can book on Wafid directly. We help if you want the details checked, appointments arranged for several workers, or the medical coordinated with the rest of the visa file.

Does the medical report need attestation?

Only where the Saudi mission or the receiving authority asks for it. We confirm what your case needs before arranging anything.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the country, the route and whether attestation is needed. Contact us for a personalised quotation. We give you a clear breakdown of our service charges and the applicable government fees before proceeding.
