You have to do the medical tests again.

need to do the medical tests again. what you need to do is take your new visa copy (the blue paper i presume). show them the new visa and pay the money (i think 100 QR) and you can come back.

only if the time between 2 tests is more than 3 months is when you need to take the exam again.

well, you can say that at the Medical Commision during your upcoming medical. Tell them your last x-ray was done recently. If they honor it, then good. If not, you have no choice, either you go through it or risk losing your resident visa. I said, no harm in trying!

thanks flor actually its not about saving time or money...because if ill be taking xtray again its already my third time for this year im afraid it would affect my health,since too much exposure with xray is not good...thank you....

if they abide by the rule of maximum x-ray exposure of once or twice a year, maybe your last medical is ok. Check with your husband's mandoob. In the first place, you ill just be saving 100 riyals, of course plus the inconvinience of going to medical again! But it's a small things compare to the permanent resident visa (husband-sponsored) you got. Congratz!
