Q: Removing a UAE ban after recovery from TB medical condition: I have visa ban in the UAE due to TB during my medical fitness test. So, I Left the UAE one year before and now after treatment, I'm ok with the problem but I'm having TB scars.

Q: I am N.R. and I was working in the UAE as a staff nurse in a hospital in Dubai. Now, I am in India due to deportation from the UAE. I joined the hospital on Aug 4 and went for a medical clearance. After a few days, they called me for repeating the medical as my X-ray shows patch. I went for the medical at al Mohaisanah but they didn't take the X-ray. Directly, they asked me for sputum examination for three days and PPD test. I spoke with the doctor that I got pneumonia in 2013. He told me to check the sputum and PPD test. I've done this and the result came negative. However, after a few days, I got a report as an old TB and they deported me to India. I checked in India but all the reports are negative and I lost my job. I need to go back to the UAE as my husband is there. Can you please suggest a solution for this?

Q: Dear Maam, Good day! I am from the Philippines. I would like to seek legal advice regarding my situation. Last March 2015, I went to Dubai to look for a job and fortunately I was hired by one of the companies in Dubai but unluckily the result of my medical exam was unfit to work due to my lung scar. I was able to talk to the PRO of the company and ask him that if I can still apply for a new visa and he said YES. So I exited to Qesm, but before I exit to Qesm I did an iris scan. That bothers me because the passport doesn't have a stamp of life banned. Since the PRO told me that it's ok to apply for a new visa I resumed to exit Qesm and wait for my new visa. But what happened to me is a mess. The PRO told me on Viber that I was already banned in Dubai. Is there any remedy to lift my ban? I really want to go back to Dubai. I hope you can help me, Ma'am. God bless and more power.

Q: Hi Ma'am, Can a person remove medical failure ban he got for TB when he changed the visa to a free zone company in Jebel Ali, Dubai?

Q: I would like to know if I am banned in Dubai due to being medically unfit for old TB scars issue, can I remove it anyway and come back to Dubai?

Q: Hi, I went to the UAE in 2019 on a work visa along with my husband. During my medical fitness, they found scars on my lungs. I got a Quantiferon gold test done privately, however they didn't give me a chance to discuss and I was asked to leave the country within a month's time post a retina scan. Considering that I couldn't stay in Dubai and didn't have a job in hand because my employer was insisting on leaving UAE in 4-5 days else their trade license could get revoked, I came back and re-settled in my home country India. I came back to India and got all my tests done. I've never had TB - active or inactive. The lung scars are due to a completely unrelated condition called Sarcoidosis which is a non-communicable, auto-immune disease. I am getting now job offers from Dubai again. If I want to apply again and try and apply for a work visa again, would the process be given that there has also been a rejection once?
