Can I return to the UAE after deportation for HIV and then cured it?

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?

If you have been completely cured and recovered, you can submit a request to cancel the ban. We can help for a small fee.

AED 1000.

Hello.

Thank you for your answer.

What do you need in this case? What documents?

Sorry,

I mean AED 10,000.

If you accept, send your passport copy with the last visa copy and ID copy.

I don't have Emirates ID if this is what you ask.

Ok, send the other documents to our email.

Hello? Can you tell me what is the process please?

We will submit the request to remove the ban, and follow the procedures until it is finished.

But you have to provide us with the medical report first with a negative case.

Hi Robert.

Once you are banned on medical fitness grounds, it is very difficult to get the ban lifted.

You can contact DHA they will give you the information. Write it to them on wasselsotak@dha.gov.ae
