Thank you for your reply, but I expect a real exp who has under gone this recently to help me out.

Hi All,

So, here is my story which I wanted to share with you all. I am a Hepatitis B positive person and I was like all you guys who was worried about this for getting my employment visa.

I am happy to share with you all that, I got my employment visa stamped on my passport smile

Story:

I am from a computer background, recently I have been offered by a dubai based company for a very good offer. I have already got a very good job in india where I was paid good for indian standard. I know very well I was Hep B +ve person and took up the interview for the dubai company and got selected.

At this time, a big question araised before me wheather to take this offer or not. It is because, what If i take the offer and after the medicals they deport me. If that is the case, I would lose my precious job which I already have.

I did my research in internet and found out that they check hep B only for person whose work category falls under 6 categories, however there was contracdicting report that people where checked for HepB inspite that they did not fall under that six category.

I was very much in doubt, but I called Dubai Health Authority, and said that I am a computer engineer and got a job in dubai and also i am a hep B positive person will I be allowed to get visa? They replied back saying yes you can, we will not any problem in that until the immigration does not have any problem.

With all this doubt surrounding, I took a bold decision to come into dubai quiting my job. Coz, I am sure that they wont consider HbsAg until you fall under that six category. My company applied for the visa I have under gone medicals and the result came out saying "Free from Infectious Dieases" I was elated and got my visa stamped on my passport.

So it is sure that Hep B is not been tested if your job category does not fall under 6 catergories. But I was wondering how come some ppl got tested for it and rest is history.


Must do for all the candidates who apply for visa :

When your company PRO applies for medical test make sure and get it confirm from them on what job profession they are applying the visa for. Make sure, the job profession in the visa application is mentioned as to the job related to you and not from any other categories.

All the process are computeriesed and pre decided, hence if the visa application it is mentioned as food handler and if your actual work is software engineer you will be tested for Hep B. Hence make sure your PRO applies in right category for you.

All the best for everyone and don't worry you will get through until your job is not in the 6 category.

Thanks.

HepB is not checked anymore since 2010 only under 6 category works are tested

Hello All!

I'm an environmental Engineer in Abu Dhabi. Today My PRO mentioned that my medical is clear in spite of having Hep B since 2008.
So the rule does exist. You just have to make sure that you don't fall in 6 categories.

Happy day!!

Thank you for that good news mysteryverse.  Please let me just ask because my husband was selected as Document Controller in dubai and he is also a positive Hep B carrier.  He will undergo med test soon. And we know that the med lab in india will do the blood test also of Hepa B.  Please help us how did you do in that med test?

Thank you.

Hi Jamshid,

My husband is newly applying for dubai and positive for Hep B.  Can you advised us if its good to apply in india since the agencies here are taking blood test for Hep B or just go for tourist in dubai and directly apply there since there is no more test for Hep B expect for the 6 categories.

Thank you.

The new Law is the people who are spreading it knowingly, You r just a carrier not spreading it.

I don't think this law will make any harm to you. Don't worry.

hi sujisaveme
witj god grace hope u got good medical result. following on
could u let us update ur medical result and current status for visa for hepb + carriers.

Hi, Osama here i am a Civil Engineer by profession living in mumbai india, i m looking forward to work in dubai coz its the only gulf country that is not testing hep b other than 6 categories.
What do u advise Should i apply through consultancy or should i apply directly in dubai by taking a tourist visa.
The Problems i am facing with consultancy is after i am selected they reject me fr having hep b they say they dnt want to take any chances.Even if i tell them that i have hep b before hand they tell me we will send you but on your own risk you have to bear the cost if something happens.
Will it be okay if i take a tourist visa and search fr a job there ,what are the chances of deportation and if the sysytem is automated y are there contradictry reports about the tests.

I have got visa from the company dealing with spare parts of Vehicles.The visa issued me is for the post of Store Keeper. Sir i am a Hepatitis B but the virus is inactive. Please tell me that UAE health authority will deport me or not? I have contacted many people all informed me that your work is to deal with spare parts of vehicles only. So UAE health authority allows you to work at UAE. Sir please confirm me as soon as possible because it cost me alot if i get this visa.
