This is the problem. You belong to one of the six categories (Food Handlers).
I think you can come back for a different job.

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.
I'm an environmental Engineer in Abu Dhabi. Today My PRO mentioned that my medical is clear in spite of having Hep B since 2008.
So the rule does exist. You just have to make sure that you don't fall in 6 categories.
My husband is also selected as Document controller for dubai but he is still in india. He is just waiting for Offer letter and visa. The agencies in india are telling that there is no such new rule for Hepa B test for dubai because my husband is positive in Hepa B. I just want to asked if agencies in india are not aware of this rule? Or can we just tell to the Med lab to clear the test anyways you say that dubai is not longer testing hepa b except for 6 categories.
Thank you.

Thank you,

Good day,
I am from the Philippines, I am planning to work in UAE in the Oil and Gas, Construction Industry, If accepted in a job is there any chances that I can get a visa I am a Hepa B reactive, Inactive carrier.
Last september 15, 2014 he got a working visa from sharjah as a civil engineer. The company asked an agency to facilitate the processing of the visa here in the phils. The two of us knew that he has a hep b since 2003. But starting 2009 i am already following this forum. That is why i got an idea that hep b carrier can already work in UAE. so i made an effort to call my friend who is in dubai to ask the ministry of health if it is ok for person with hep b to work there in uae. She called the ministry and the person said its ok no problem let him come. So my husband made a decision and process his papers with the agency. Normal visa processing procedure here in the phils, the person must undergo a medical exam for POEA cert. So my husband submit himself for medical at a clinic in ermita manila. After 1 week the agency called my husband and said the clinic gave him unfit to work because he is positive of hepa b. So we went to the agency and talked to them personally and told them that we knew its ok for a person with hep b to work in uae. So the agency said my husband must get a waiver from the company that they will accept the medical result. So after that waiver the clinic gave him a fit to work cert. So last nov 15 2014 he arrived in dubai uae. Then last monday december 8 he undergo medical test in ghubaiba preventive medicine in sharjah. Then just this day dec 11 he got the FIT TO WORK CERTIFICATE. So he is really a living proof that hep b is not included in the medical test if you do not belong to the 6 categories. Cheers to all persons who suffer from hep b. There is a bright hope for you all. Thanks be to God..
