Confirmed what I suspected.

Didn't need a blood test though, just had to confirm that I wasn't Jewish, didn't have certain diseases (HIV was the biggest one they were worried about, that and Wahhabism) and where and when I'd be leaving the country.
If the client doesn't know that then the clients' at fault but, to be honest, I'd expect that this is more of an agent needing a swift talking to.

Btw, best not have a with the locals!

Have you had client telephone interview and offer? If not, you're suffering from agent bullzhit syndrome.
Client and agent should be doing all the visa work. The actual application for work visa would be done when you get there, which in your case is not likely.

A "Work visa" takes weeks. You have to go for a health check as well (or sumbit a doctors report....something like that). Full info is on thier website....Google it.
However, a away around this is to get a business visit visa, so you can travel, and sort out the proper work visa in parallel. I've got business visas before and they take about 24 hours to 48 hours to process.
Really the company in Saudi should be sorting all this out....as a minimum you will need a letter from the company in saudi "inviting you". A copy of this should be sent to you and also the Saudi consulate in London.

You need to ask the Embassy a few questions. We don't know how their internal processes work, even if some of us have worked in Saudi before.
