Traveling to the UAE as a tourist after residency visa rejection due to HIV

Hello there,

I would like to ask you something. One year ago, my application for residency in Dubai (for job matters) got rejected due to my health issues (because of HIV) and they banned me for life.

Can I still travel as a tourist?

I get my visa on arrival. I have to add that I'm on treatment and now I'm "HIV negative" because of the pills and my doctor told me that I'm not contagious anymore.

Should I take a medical certificate with me?

Dear questioner,

Yes, it is true that you must bring a medical certificate from an accredited hospital and show it when needed.

As for your entry back into the country, you must follow the laws and regulations governing these transactions and you should try.

What is an accredited hospital in Germany?

Yes. I want to follow the laws and not be rejected from entering the country.

I'm just transiting Dubai but I have a layover for 6 hours and I just want to spend a couple of hours in Dubai.

Dear Sir,

Yes!

What about the HIV pills?

Are they okay if I take them with me?

Medical reports will be sent with the application and it is up to the discretion of the committee.

22 Jan 2023, 14:34

Sorry, I didn't get that.

Can you please explain again?

22 Jan 2023, 15:27

It means submitting a request for mercy again that includes tests from accredited centers which prove that you are free of the disease or that it has become non-contagious. It can be approved.

22 Jan 2023, 15:38

Alright!

I live in Germany. Can you please tell me one accredited center?

5 Feb 2023, 08:16

You can inquire in your country about the approved medical center in Germany for the UAE.
