Q: Dear Mr ElKhatib, I am an assistant professor working currently in the United Kingdom. I suffered pulmonary TB 15 years ago (2003) and received all necessary medications. I have some scars in my right lung; however, I worked before in the USA, Germany, Japan, and other countries. Now, I have an offer from a university in Abu Dhabi but still worry about accepting it because I will resign from my job in the UK. Do these scars make me unfit? Is there any solution for this problem? Many thanks

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I am medically unfit. I want to know if I am banned or not. Can I come on a visit visa to the UAE?

Q: Hi Sir, How Are You? I am from India and I am a salesman at XYZ Shop In Sharjah. After completing 2 months, I went for a medical test my blood test was good but in the X-ray, they found a little scar on my left lung. They transferred my medical report to (EHS) where I met a doctor who told me that I had TB. But I don't know when I had this disease, maybe in childhood. Then I went for a gold TB test at a medical center where I met a TB specialist. After completing my sputum or blood test for 3-4 days, my test came negative. So I collected all my reports and also a request letter from the doctor about my health, but they did not see my report and deported me. I'm really worried that I cannot come to the UAE for my entire life not only on a resident visa but also tourist or visit visa. Please can you help me? Is there any legal process that I can lift my ban for at least a tourist visa?

A legal concept upheld by the Federal Supreme Court states that drug use is not prosecuted by UAE courts if the offense occurred abroad. A positive drug test is accepted as proof of drug use, but it does not reveal whether the drug use occurred domestically or abroad. It is necessary to establish the crime's location in order to decide if the UAE courts have the authority to investigate it or if foreign courts should have jurisdiction over it.
