Not completed yet.....as I have one medical report to come back.....hopefully tomorrow.
Can't believe the pre employment medical....I have never been checked out for so much stuff ha ha ha although it only resolved what I already knew HIV free, TB free, Hepatitis free, colour vision, sight and hearing ok. General health and physical appearance ok ecg monitor good and a raft of other things.
Just an empty wallet at the end ha ha ha
The rest should be straight forward I think.

For Dubai it was blood and X-ray only
If I befall any issues I will let you know.

Moving to Bahrain from Dubai and a new company/position. Been in Dubai almost 3 years but I come from the UK. I am also a South African citizen having become nationalized when my family emigrated there some years back. I lived there for around 5 years and then moved on to Zimbabwe before returning to the UK.
I have also lived in Belguim and Holland, my father is Irish my Mother English and I was born in Makaysia. My surname is French.
That a brief lowdown but there is so much more ha ha ha
A mixed up kid really :D:D:cool:
