Hep B is no longer a deport-able illness unless you work in one of 6 professions e.g. maid, healthcare worker etc. If the profession on your visa is not one of the 6, there is no problem.

BUT GAMCA is another case altogether. GAMCA does test for Hep B and will declare you unfit irrespective of whatever I have written above. This is what used to happen even when UAE changed it's laws as above. Maybe GAMCA has followed suit but I don't know that so you need to check.

You WILL need to get a medical done with GAMCA which will be repeated when you arrive in the UAE before your residency is stamped in the passport.
