Questions & Answers
Had syphilis years ago, now have a scar. Will this affect my Emirates ID approval?
Hello Sir/Madam,
I have a question. I had syphilis in my early 20s, and now, at 40 years old, I went for a medical check-up when coming to the UAE. It was found that I have a syphilis scar.
Will this hinder me from getting an Emirates ID if I go for the medical?
Dear Questioner,
Syphilis is typically not a focus of the medical examination for obtaining a UAE residency visa. The primary concerns are TB, HIV, and hepatitis B and C (depending on the job).
If you had syphilis in the past and it was successfully treated, it should not be an issue during your medical examination.
