JEDDAH, 16 August 2005 — A new law requiring mandatory medical checkups for all expatriates before the renewal of their iqamas (resident permits) will come into force within two weeks, says Col. Muhammad Al-Asmary, director of passports in the Makkah region.

“Iqamas of expatriates infected with contagious diseases will not be renewed,” Al-Madinah Arabic daily quoted the official as saying.
