Upon arrival in Saudi Arabia on a work or dependent visa, obtaining an Iqama (a residency permit issued by the Ministry of Interior) is mandatory. The process can be made easier by undergoing a medical examination and obtaining an Efada medical report from an approved medical center.
This guide will walk you through scheduling appointments and gathering all the necessary documents while giving tips on acing the Efada exam.
It is important to note that the EFADA report will serve as necessary documentation for you while you continue to live or work in Saudi Arabia. It is mandatory for many processes, such as getting a driving license. But if you’re planning to hit the roads, remember to get your car FAHAS approved as well.
Efada-Approved Medical Centers
Before getting started, it’s important to pick a medical center that has been approved by Efada. Great options include King Saud Hospital in Riyadh, Alhamra Hospital in Jeddah, and Dammam Comprehensive Screening Centre.
Here’s a list of Efada-approved medical centers that can help you find the closest to your house.
