Q: Dear Ahmed Elnaggar, Last year in November, I was deported from the UAE because they found HIV in my blood. So I got a permanent ban. Since then I am on HIV medications.

Q: I'm from Romania but I live in Germany. In January 2022 I got a job offer in Dubai and I accepted it. My sponsor sent me an employment eVisa and he told me that the immigration officer has to put a stamp on it so that we can proceed with the residence visa. After a few days, I was sent for the medical test and I found out I'm HIV positive. My sponsor had to cancel the whole process and so I got deported. They also scanned my retina. Now on my visa cancellation after the entry, it's saying that I got a permanent ban due to the unfit medical status. I'm on medication right now and my doctor told me it may take a couple of months until I will be HIV negative. Can I return to the UAE to work again? What about as a tourist? Can I lift the ban?
