Saudi Work Visa for Diabetic

If your doctor states that you are "fit for work" it shouldn't be a problem.  I am diabetic too and it didn't affect my getting a work permit.  In addition, 25 percent of Saudi nationals are diabetic apparently.

Thanks. I was being worried as I don't want to lose this opportunity.

Btw pitch did you get work permit recently?

Yes, towards the end of 2014.  Good luck!

Thanks

I have checked with GAMCA,Pakistan. According to them, being diabetic makes me unfit for work permit in Saudi. Really disappointed. Did not want to lose this opportunity.

I'm not sure about the situation in Pakistan, but maybe you should still go through with your application because as I said, something like 25 percent of all Saudis are diabetic.  Good luck and I wish you the best!

I ll speak to my company agent on monday and see what they say.

I have yet to undergo my new Saudi Arabian employer's medical and as a type 1 diabetic, I have concerns. I shall update this blog once my medical is complete.

I am a Type 1 Diabetic and in the past, this has proved disastrous when seeking work in some parts of the world and in the UK equally. Most of the 'concerns' expressed by companies are as outdated as the attitudes of management are draconian. In my experience, problems relate to company policies rather than any local government restrictions. It is interesting to note that on many occasions, my employment was questioned by others who would be better off regulating their own health and 'behaviours'. There is a high degree of hypocrisy.
