However, some queries regarding the Border Number and Sponsor Id are coming from? By most people. Hence, to eliminate confusion, we take a brief description of both.
Border Number and Sponsor ID
As a Border Number is an integral part of checking Efada’s medical report status, you should be clear about it. It’s a ten-digit number allotted by the KSA to every expatriate when they come to SA. It is a handwritten digit and presents your password next to the Saudi immigration stamp. However, sometimes expatriates don’t find it on the password, so they should seek help from Absher and check it via Absher by giving their visa number and issuance date.
Secondly, the Sponsor Id, it’s the second key element that you must need if you are going to check your report via the MOH website. Like Border number, it also consists of 10-digits, but this number is only assigned to an organization. So if you are an employee, you must hold Sponsor Id from your organization or company.
You can check it on your employee card. If it doesn’t hold, then request company HR to give you. Moreover, you may get your Sponsor Id by checking the visa on your passport.
On Efada, you’ll get all types of medical reports; including, General medical reports, resident medical reports, medical reports for Iqama issuance, medical reports for new employment, and medical reports for renewing a license.
