Which documents should I keep ready for my application to medical colleges in Saudi Arabia as an Indian student?
Indian students typically need a passport with at least 18 months of remaining validity, attested Class 10 and 12 certificates and transcripts, a NEET scorecard if returning to India, a medical fitness certificate, English scores, a Statement of Purpose and photographs. Requirements vary by university.
You should keep your documents ready well before any deadline, since gathering them at the last minute is where most delays happen. The list below shows what Indian students typically prepare, but each university may ask for more or less.
