Post new topic

Maejoy2019

Hi goodam. I would like to ask for your help. I had minimal PTB last 2017 with NO SYMPTOMS at all and I took 6 months of medication. My acid fast bacilli sputum test are NEGATIVE. My GENExpert is also NEGATIVE/MTB NOT DETECTED. Also my SPUTUM CULTURE TEST is NEGATIVE/NO GROWTH.
I'm planning to go to Dubai this december to apply for a work. Please help me what to do regarding this matter. You're help is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance. God bless

If you have a visible scar due to old PTB then you will not get a work visa.  It does not matter for the GCC countries that you have no disease now and are cured - any evidence of old TB disease is enough to reject visa for you (as a new visa applicant).

Brother
Actually my visa expired on may, so current announcement is no grace period once visa got cancelled.
I can switch to other company by paying penalties for few over days.
Will make a trouble??

XTang

It can or it may not. Best to check through your sponsor. Nowadays things change every other day.

Switching to new employer is not a problem, they accept it by paying penalties for few days upto making work permit.
My doubt is
Will medical centre consider my visa within uae?

XTang

Have your employer apply and check.  As I said, things change everyday here.  They may accept or they may not.
