Would a Tuberculosis result in a lifetime ban on visiting the UAE?

Dear sir/madam,

I had Tuberculosis and was told to return to my country.

Could this result in a lifetime ban on visiting the UAE?

Dear questioner,

A positive result for TB or HIV in medical tests will result in a permanent ban, meaning that the person will not be able to enter the UAE again.

In some circumstances, one may lift the ban if he/she is able to prove that they are free from such diseases (no longer having any TB scarring in the lungs).

Regards,

Yes, unfortunately, until you recover.
