Hello,


Looking for assistance.


During medical test I was revealed I am VDRL Syphillis positive, will I get work visa for bahrain. Im currently undergoing treatment for the same and plus I came across a blog which said VDRL Syphillis is checked for only some occupations in bahrain.


Thanks for your replies in advance!

Gamca rules are standard across all professions. https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=683699

Thank you for your reply!


Will I get the work visa? If Syphillis disease detected on arrival to Bahrain will I be deported back?


Currently Im going under medication for it too.

Assuming you land here (from your profile i.e., EU national, I guess you are not coming through GAMCA), it can go either way.  What will happen is that the private medical will highlight your VDRL / TPHA (everyone is tested) in the uploaded report to MOH.  Then it is up to them.  I have seen cases go either way i.e. you might be called to the public health center for further follow up or rejected out of hand.
