Hi,

I am currently residing in Asia and I was offered a job opportunity in Abu Dhabi. Kindly advise if there is going to be a mandatory health screening that needs to be done in Abu Dhabi before i can start? If yes, what are the tests included on the screening (e.g. CBC, Hepa, HIV, Chest X-ray, etc.)

Are these tests also applied to a housewife applying for a new residence visa (her husband will sponsor her) ? Thank you.

Thank you.

Does it mean if someone has HbsAg+ inactive carrier, he/she would not be able to get a residence permit in UAE? #we thought it only applied for workers in 6 job categories

You will definitely need to do the medical. I am out of my depth with that question I'm afraid! Although it is worth noting this is a 'one rule for one' and 'another rule for another' country. So depending on your nationality, who you know or who your husband's employer will be, strings can be pulled.
