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.

Thanks for sharing. the roles are the same everywhere. and free s=zone companies are more relaxed. the type of company greatly matters. e'g any position in the hotel sector you will be tested, all emirate airline staff are being tested.etc. The fear of being deported is worst than the fear of dying from HBV. I understand

Hi Guys,
Just want to share my experience here in Dubai. I'm also following this thread before I decided to accept a job offer in Dubai. I just arrived in October this year. I'm hepa b carrier, so i'm also super worried when I got here. I got a job in a free zone company, so it's not falling into the 6 categories. During the medical test, I really prayed hard that there will be no issue and I can pass the medical. They took my Xray, and blood test. I ask the lab attendant what will they check on my blood, she said only HIV. Also when you have the medical form, it mentions there what category you are in. My category falls under - "Others", so it means not under 6 categories. After 2-3weeks of waiting, thank God my Residence Visa was released.

You can check this website as a guide: http://www.dha.gov.ae/EN/ServiceCatalogue/eServices/MedicalFitness/Pages/Packages.aspx

But I think that this category system is only applicable to Dubai. Different Emirates in UAE have different rules. I don't know about Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and others. So which is why in the Philippines, all agencies will still check HBV when working abroad.

Good luck to all. There is hope even if you have HBV. Keep a healthy lifestyle.
